<p>Do colleges care that much if you are a QB finalist? i'm not planning on using college match</p>
<p>It gets you on their radar – if accepted through QB, you’ll be targeted by many schools. If you can get the app done, I definitely recommend it. See this newly started thread:</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>There is a whole sub-forum about Questbridge inside the Financial Aid Forum. You may want to ask some of your questions there.</p>
<p>I don’t plan on applying to any schools through the college match process, i just want to know if being a finalist will help me that much</p>
<p>Why would you try to become a finalist if you don’t actually want it? Just don’t apply and let someone else who actually needs it, get it.</p>
<p>Not everyone who does quest bridge uses the college match program…</p>
