Is it okay to not forward your QB application?

<p>I didn't spend as much time on my QuestBridge Application as I should have. I would do the College Match, but i don't want my QuestBridge App to taint their first perception of me, if that makes sense.
If i'm selected as a Finalist, can i just go ahead and leave the QuestBridge App all together and apply via just the CommonApp, but put QuestBridge Finalist as one of my awards?
I'm worried that the fact that I put QuestBridge Finalist, but chose not to foward my QB app is seen as slightly suspicious. This is especially worrying me at schools that say you can use your QB app in lieu of your CommonApp.</p>
