<p>Most QB recipients have family income >$60,000 and good grades in general in high school. See the specifics on these links:</p>

<p>As for the PSAT, ultimately it’s the SAT score that matters, and you still have plenty of time to work on that :).</p>

<p>I think xrCalico23 meant <$60,000, not greater than, so don’t let that scare you. Don’t stress about your PSAT score too much, and definitely apply to Questbridge next year.</p>

<p>Oh my goodness, sorry, I definitely meant to say <$60,000.</p>

<p>Anyone can apply for QuestBridge really… if you are selected as a finalist (around half of applicants), you can have your app forwarded to partner colleges.</p>
