Questbridge Class of '16 -- Running list of Acceptances/Waitlists/Rejectsion

Paying for College Access Programs (Questbridge, Posse)
1

<p>In keeping with last year's thread (<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/questbridge-programs/1105669-questbridge-class-15-running-list-acceptances-waitlists-rejections.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/questbridge-programs/1105669-questbridge-class-15-running-list-acceptances-waitlists-rejections.html&lt;/a&gt;) on the same topic, I thought it was only fitting that we have a similar thread where QB matchees, finalists, and even non-finalists could post where they'd been accepted/rejected/waitlisted. It'd be interesting to somehow quantify the impact Questbridge's impact on our acceptances! </p>

<p>Posting stats is not necessary, but it is welcome. Also, seeing as many schools (i.e. the ivies) have yet to release decisions, include a "waiting on" list along with your acceptances/rejections/waitlists. </p>

<p>I'll begin:</p>

<p>Accepted:
Northwestern University
University of Chicago ($57k a year)
Pomona College (full ride)
American University</p>

<p>Waitlisted:

<p>Waiting on:

Georgetown

<p>Advice to young-ins who are considering applying to Questbridge: Hmm, idk if it necessarily helped, but I don’t think it hurt. I put a lot of time into my QB essays, and ended up using one for my main common app essay. It was helpful having that done early. Although, I did all of my supplements the night they were due :P</p>

<p>Questbridge finalist, not matched</p>

<p>Rejected: Stanford, Columbia, MIT (deferred EA), Caltech (waitlisted first)</p>

<p>Accepted: UCB, UCLA, UCSD (Chancellor Scholarship), UCI, UCD, Calpoly SLO.</p>

<p>I SIR to UCSD with Chancellor Scholarship.</p>

<p>I didn’t get anywhere from Questbridge list.
I think my problem was that I didn’t have any AP class in 12th grade.
I didn’t want to take AP Biology, and I couldn’t take AP Art History, because of sport.</p>
