[li] Where else were you accepted/deferred:[/ul] I haven’t applied anywhere else, but I’ve been accepted to UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced through ELC[/li]General Comments: I have to tell all future applicants, don’t let these forums scare you out of applying. Reading how high the scores and grades of all the people on here are, and how many activities they have, and all their awards really tends to discourage you. I didn’t expect much from QuestBridge because of this. Just know, your essays can be the diference between an acceptance and rejection… I still can’t believe I’m going to Columbia on a full ride!!!</p>
<p>im so confused. i got a letter from questbridge but i didn’t think it was worth it to fill it out. Do they get decisions earlier and like “preferred” acceptance or something??</p>
<h2>@die4columbia: Chill. And FYI it’s harder to get accepted into Columbia via QB, than ED.</h2>
<p>In other news…</p>
<p>2 of my classmates…one Hispanic and one White… had applied through QB and they got rejected ( They have higher SAT grades and GPAs than the person that got accepted in this topic, and myself)</p>
