Questbridge College Prep Scholars 2017 Applicant Thread

did yall get a call from an 888 area code?

Got a call about Yale Young Global Scholars…

Yay!! @MaybeHarvard2022

Guys!! Only like a little over a week till we get summer program results!!!

How does the all-expense-paid campus visits work? Do you just tell QuestBridge whenever you have been invited to visit a college?

@StudentWarrior I think the individual colleges will select you and get in touch with you.

Also, Hamilton College was added as a QB Partner today!

I got an email from one of Questbridge’s college partners that just said that they know i’m a college prep scholar and it talked a little bit about the college and an option for me to schedule a college visit. When do actual college visit selections start? Also, is this email an example of that?

@MaybeHarvard2022 did you get an email at all about the yale young global scholars program? does anyone know what happens if i don’t answer the call b/c i’m not available or something?
did anyone else get a decision from yale young global?

Who got all-expense-paid nominations?!

My daughter was nominated for all expense paid visits. In the last couple days age has received two invitations to apply to the all expense paid fly-in program from two different schools.

@crttrlvr Swarthmore and Williams? If so those aren’t the all expense paid visits from QB pretty sure. I think the all expense paid visits come later in the summer and early fall.

hm, so Today IS the mid-May … the letter I received a month ago or so says “students who are selected for a full scholarship to college summer programs will be contacted separately BY mid-May…” so I didn’t make it? aarrghh

Did anyone hear anything about the summer programs?

@StudentWarrior On the FB group there is a lot of confusion regarding summer programs. Looks like some have been handed out while others have not been.

I got a $250 stipend from Carleton. I wish more colleges would do that, but I don’t think I’m going to use it. A ticket to MN costs me around 300 and tbh I’m not really interested in Carleton.

@kassh4 Me too! Have you checked with Spirit airlines? Booking this early should be less than 250 round-trip. They let prospective students stay overnight in the dorms too.

@Hamlon I just checked Spirit, and the ticket is only like 100 bucks, which would obviously be covered by the stipend. Huh, I am seriously considering it now. Thanks for the suggestion.

@kassh4 You’re welcome! Be careful about hidden charges. Spirit can be sneaky.

@kassh4 I’m not a part of the FB QuestBridge Community, so can you let me know which programs already released their decisions based on what people mentioned?
