<p>Can you tell me what a likely letter is, and when you receive them? Also, would you mind posting your stats? Thanks I am new to all this</p>
<p>hi kids :]
John Pulice, a Quest kid from this year, made a really great website that presents all this information in a super digestible way.</p>

tada!
You have to be a member of the Facebook group, but that has a bunch of good discussions and knowledgeable answers too. So if you’re on Facebook, this is a very good representation of QuestScholars of '15.</p>

<p>Thanks for the link, leslunettes.</p>
<p>Also any news on the Quest for Excellence? If someone e-mailed them, that is.</p>

<p>A likely letter is basically an early acceptance letter that comes about 3 weeks before the regular decision date. My son received two of them, one each from Amherst and Williams. Stats: 36.0 ACT, 240 PSAT, dual 800 SAT IIs, 1/400 class rank, leadership in a couple ECs, peer tutoring at the AP level, and a customed-designed community service project. He decided to go to Brown.</p>
<p>hello questbridge finalists! how many of you were college prep scholarship winners? and how many of you actually went to the conferences at stanford or yale?</p>
<p>^
Hi! I was a Questbridge finalist and I also attended the conference Stanford. I have to say that attending the conference helped me a lot in understanding how the Match process worked and how FA works (I’m first gen so no one in my family knew about how to apply for Pell grants, etc). </p>
<p>And back to the main point of the thread…</p>
<p>I only applied to three schools through the Match process–Princeton, Stanford, Yale. Didn’t get matched with any. </p>
<p>I didn’t apply RD for Yale, but did for Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, and Brown. So my QB schools,</p>
<p>Accepted: Princeton
Waitlisted: Brown
Rejected: Stanford (</3), Columbia </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure Questbridge helped a lot! Very thankful and glad I took this opportunity. (:</p>
<p>My son was not a finalist either but I think Questbridge was helpful. He did not have to pay for his application fee to Yale or Northwestern. Due to cost, he only applied to 4 schools.</p>
<p>Accepted: Northwestern</p>
<p>Waitlisted: Brown and Yale</p>
<p>Rejected: Harvard (Non-QB)</p>
<p>He was called off the waitlist by Yale and that is here he will attend. They offered close to 92% of the COA so their package was much better than NU’s which was just under 80%.</p>
<p>I was a non-matched finalist and now I’m going to Brown off the waitlist.</p>
<p>Congratulations to everyone, matched or non-matched! I am sure you are all attending great schools and wish you all the best of luck.</p>
<p>I forgot to update awhile back…</p>

<p>how did you apply to schools other than querstbridge schools. my understanding is that if you are a finalist, you can’t apply to any other school unless you aren’t matched. help! I’m applying this fall and need clarification</p>
<p>The thing with me is that i didn’t do the match process but they still called my a finalist (basically means you are eligible to do the match if you want to). This way i was able to apply early action and regular decision to wherever. You get the same amount of aid.</p>
<p>@abiapples1 This isn’t a good thread for questions, but unless you are matched (which you’ll know around Dec. 1st) you can apply regular decision to any college, QB or not.</p>
