Questbridge chance vs early decision/action chance

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey guys, I am currently debating whether or not to apply through questbridge this coming month. My top choices are Stanford and Columbia (really cannot pick between the 2). The thing with QB is that i worry the chances are going to be really low, considering the colleges are planning to give the applicants full rides. Which one of these choices would give me the highest chance of admission? Which one should i do?
1. Questbridge
2. Early decision Columbia (20% or so on website, much higher than regular)
3. Early Action Stanford (14%, slightly higher than regular)</p>

<p>a couple factors that might influence the decision
-money is no longer a factor becuase if i get in either way i am gonna get a lot of financial aid (which probably takes away from Questbridge)
-I have gotten a slight head start on apps, and i am already done with all testing (which would favor QB since its 2 months earlier)</p>

<p>Read as much as you can to get an idea of QB. Of course, however, if you read everything here, you'll pretty much know everything about it due to its lengthy Q&As. Please post your questions in that topic.</p>
