<p>How much does being a QuestBridge Finalist help when you're applying to very competitive schools (Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, UChicago, etc.) regular decision? Is QuestBridge Finalist considered a big hook? Will it be enough to push an applicant who is borderline into the acceptance pile?</p>

<p>I thought that it was that u could ED to multiple schools</p>

<p>You can also forward your application RD if you’re a finalist (or if you’re not, but I don’t know why someone would do that).</p>

<p>@Melocatones: I am going to forward my QB app RD to QB partner schools. And nonpartner schools will know that I’m a QB Finalist (it’s on my common app). But I’m wondering how much of an impact QB Finalist status has. </p>

<p>@SonicCare: I opted out of QB College Match. I’m just applying RD.</p>

<p>Apparently, it does help. I’d think it’s even more advantageous if you’ve applied through the NCM (i.e., for the schools you re-apply to through RD).</p>
