Questbridge College Match 2016 Applicant Thread

@WWWard Will the decision displayed on the Application Management page or email.

@RightDirection You won’t see your status in your email, you’d have to go to the page. You get an email telling you to do so though.

@676339784 I got it. Thanks

Literally cannot concentrate in class! I’m constantly looking at my email :frowning:

Has anyone received a decision?

@RightDirection Both. It will update on your page… if you keep checking, you will likely see it that way first. And then later, you will receive an email letting you know to check your status on that page. Historically, the emails come later than the status update.

Good luck…

What time do they release decisions typically? I’ve heard anywhere from 4-6pm EST to 6pm PST. I keep reloading the page on my phone at school. I’ve got work at 4 and I don’t get out until 10 I will be off the wall if I can’t find out until 10 ughhhh

@norepinephrine recently… 1:46pm to 3pm, eastern

good luck

@WWWard I keep thinking about what my reaction will be if I find out while I’m still in class. I honestly think I’d just start laughing and crying. I’d probably end up getting in trouble for not being focused on the class material. I guess we’ll see lol. Good luck to you too if you’re applying!

@norepinephrine Thanks. It is actually my daughter who is an applicant. But we went through this 3 yrs ago when my older daughter became a QB finalist. If it hopefully comes… enjoy the moment :slight_smile:

Has anyone received their decision yet?

I’m still waiting. I don’t think I have the greatest chances at becoming a finalist, but I’m still hoping for the best!!

@kendrastarr same feeling

Even though i didnt rank any schools im still super nervous to see if i got in. However, i wouldnt want to take anyone else’s spot considering i didnt rank any schools and wouldnt be taking full advantage of being matched. Does anyone know if QuestBridge only accepts a certain amount of match finalists, or if all acceptance decisions are on a student by student basis?

The wait is killing me… ahhhh!

@swarthmore_21? hey so I asked this exact question and they said that the number varies by year so I honestly think that it’s whoever the QB people think have a good chance at getting matched. I asked during a QuestCast and they said “It varies by year. Last year we had 4,895 Finalists and 657 students matched to a college partner. An additional 1,600 were admitted through Early or Regular Decision. But again, it varies by year based on our applicant pool.”

I didn’t get an email from QB yet, BUT Colorado College emailed me thanking me for submitting an application to them. I ranked Colorado College on my list. Could this be a sign? Who knows?

@QueenOfBohemia Same boat, friendo.

@QueenOfBohemia I got the same thing too! Fingers crossed!!!

@kingofderp69 was your email also from Colorado College? Or from another school
