QB College Prep Scholar and College Match Recipient

Hello everyone!

I am a QB CP scholar and National College match recipient! I was matched to Pomona. I know the application for the national college match is now open, I’m here if you have any questions about Questbridge!

Hello!

I wanted to ask if you had advice for who should apply to Questbridge, and if it helps your chances of getting in versus doing regular ED. I come from a low income family and was planning on applying this year, but the deadline is in 2 weeks and didn’t know if I would finish in time. My point is that I don’t want to apply so rushed and go around bothering my teachers for recs, if it doesn’t make that much of a difference. I would really like to be a QB scholar and not have to be in debt for college, but my gc told me that QB requirement are very high and a bit weird, as in you’d have to be extremely poor. My income bracket is around 15k. If I can get a full scholarship from a wealthy, need blind school like Penn with good aid, then I don’t want to rush my application to QB if it comes out badly or if I end up being compared to a more competitive applicant pool, which would be counter intuitive. Thank you!
