Questbridge College Match 2016 Applicant Thread

Paying for College Access Programs (Questbridge, Posse)
161

To keep this all in perspective, only 14% of this year’s 5338 QB Finalists matched (767). Both were record #s though.

But for the 86% of finalists not matched today, do not lose faith/hope. Over 2657 or 55%+ of all QB Finalists last year were eventually accepted to a QB Partner, either via Match or RD.

If those #s hold true this year, at least another 2169 Finalists will get in via the RD round to a QB Partner.

So good luck to all… including my own daughter - who failed in her effort to match with the one binding college she aimed for :slight_smile:

162

Northwestern class of 2021!!! Only thing I can find bad about today is that I didn’t match to my 4 schools I ranked ahead of it, but who cares?

BTW, 61 got admitted through QB

I updated this with info from the Facebook group. For most of the schools, the number of matches is on the portal when you get your decision. Some (like brown) don’t say though
