Number of matches by school?

Paying for College Access Programs (Questbridge, Posse)

Haverford admitted 20 Questbridge scholars for the class of 2025.

I would have thought Questbridge would publish such statistics to help boost the programā€™s awareness.

@CottonTales I am not sure you are correct. A student only matches with a school if BOTH the schools acceptance and the students ranking align. If a school A accepts a student, but a student was accepted into school B that the student ranked higher, they are not matched to school A.

So if the school says 35 students were matched to school A this year. Then its 35 students that were matched, not accepted.

But if the school words it differently I imagine it would be harder to know. But from what I have seen most schools give the matched number.

Colgate matched 15 QB Scholars to its class of '25.

Yes, I guess I didnā€™t word that correctly. The student gets matched to whatever school ranks them and that the student also ranked the highest on their list. For instance, I know that in my Dā€™ s case, #1 and # 4 both wanted to match her. Obviously she went to #1. If # 1, 2 or 3 hadnā€™t ranked her, she would have gone to #4.

In your example I donā€™t think ā€˜acceptanceā€™ is a concept in QB matching, either you match to a school or donā€™t. So School A and B might want a given student, but because the student ranked school B higher, they are matched to school B. There is no unfilled acceptance to school A.

That is how I see it as well.
