<p>OH - also, I noticed on their app. their are questions as to parents education, do you have a computer in your home, etc.
I now have a masters degree and dad has a Bachelor's (earned by age 40) and we do have a computer....</p>
<p>I was a finalist this year in QuestBridge - I'm going to Harvard.
(w/ a full ride under their Financial Aid Initiative).</p>
<p>QuestBridge is really great - it is respected by top colleges and the application prepares you for other apps for schools, programs, and scholarships. I think it definitely helped me get into Harvard.</p>
