Questbridge College Prep Scholars 2017 Applicant Thread

@Southern5062 I think I would decide whether or not to use NCM based on how the app looks, if it gives me a chance to be way more expressive than the Common App, UCA, or Coalition app than I will use it.

lol I feel so sorry for next year’s juniors who have to read this entire thread from the beginning.

I did not apply to the prep scholars program. Am I now at a huge disadvantage for the actual finalist competition??

@motherpugger No worries. There are many College Match Finalists that do not participate in College Prep. Many don’t find out about it early enough - so your chances are still great!

@motherpugger Nope, not at all. The first Questbridge Match at my school got matched with Tufts University and she didn’t even know about College Prep Scholars until a couple of my friends and I told her we were applying to the program.

@CMKingOfFl I’m definitely going to apply for NCM! :^) It’s a great opportunity.

To be honest, if I don’t become a College Prep Scholar, I won’t be unhappy, maybe just a little disappointed.
My real passion and drive is towards NCM, so if I get rejected today, I think I’ll be pretty chill at this point. All my anxiety has somewhat turned into indifference lol(Φ ω Φ)

Good Luck everyone! Just a few hours most likely. This has been a good experience and practice for college applications no matter what happens. NCM is still there too!

@Glorfindel1 Good luck to you too! It was nice to talk to you, and everyone else on this forum. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I strongly feel that decisions will come out today because the 30th (which is another date Quest bridge has released applications) falls on a weekend.

Good luck everyone! :slight_smile:

Good luck all! Also, thanks for whoever made or participated in this thread. I’ve gotten a lot of valuable information from this thread.

They usually post “decisions will be out today” on Facebook every year, but I don’t see anything today.

aaaaaaaaaaa
oh well… decisions will be the same either way I guess

let’s stay optimistic guys! it’ll be okay c:

They might post it later because they operate in pacific time? In the posts I looked at they were posted in the evening

Hmm… I looked through the 2016 thread and someone got accepted at 10:50am, which is about an hour from now

how many more times will i have to refresh my email (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

@nova17 A lot of people starting posting last year around 1:30 pm EST / 10:30 am PST. Here’s hoping!

So, that will be about 12:30 central time for my fellow midwesterners!!

If it’s today, we’re getting close to a decision. Feeling excited.

they should be out soon (idk if today) but soon bc the pomona conference is may 20th. qb states that they have limited travel grants so they should release soon so students can book their travel accommodation asap
