My Chances With The Questbridge Match

Hey, everyone! I recently turned in my application for the Questbridge Match for 2023. A few people suggested that I do and I have spent an immense amount of time preparing everything. I would love to know if I even stand a chance as my parents both graduated college, but there is certainly more to my story.

GPA: 4.0 UW (school does not do weighted)
Test-optional
Class rank: 4/81
Top 5% of my class
Rural area
Have taken the most rigorous coursework offered
Interest: Pre-Law Route
Female & Caucasian

EC:
Started my own graphic design business and work as a teacher’s assistant for the school
4 year varsity soccer team (I have been captain for 2 years)
4 years of FBLA (Secretary)
4 years of BETA (Vice President)
Over 100 hours of community service

Awards (really lacking here):
1st place in Hospitality and Tourism at FBLA (State-conference)
1st place in Accounting at FBLA (State-conference)
All Region One District Soccer Player

Essays:
Personal statement was written about my mother’s passing and how I compared it to the changing of the four seasons.
My other essay was about how Appalachian community is an aspect I want to bring to my future college campus.

Additional info:
I live with my single father
Yearly income: $16,000
He was in a really bad accident a couple years ago so I work to help to pay the bills and take care of him.

I am sure I probably missed a few details so please let me know if you have any questions. I really am looking for honesty so do not hold back lol.
