<p>I can't seem to find answers in the CC QB forums but...</p>
<p>Can you be a questbridge finalist and not apply to College Match or RD? Then apply to Princeton's early action?</p>
<p>My family is low-income, however, we have not suffered intense economic hardship. We are also not first-generation. I do not think I would have a chance in the match process.</p>
<p>However, I know that Princeton is my top school and I would like to apply early rather than RD.</p>
<p>Much thanks!</p>
<p>Like I want to apply to QB and then if I’m selected EA at Princeton and skip Match and RD. Is that allowed?</p>
<p>Thanks for your time and information.</p>
<p>You CAN apply SCEA to Princeton if you don’t rank any schools for the Match.</p>
<p>Here’s a quote and link to the QB ED page:</p>
<p>“Please note that students who apply to the College Match but do <em>not</em> rank colleges, or who are not selected as finalists, are not subject to any agreements with QuestBridge and are free to apply to any colleges for early or regular decision. Finalist notification is on October 22, 2013.”</p>

<p>You can email QB to be sure, if you’d like; they’re good about getting back to you.</p>

<p>Thanks scoutsmom! That clears so much up.</p>
<p>I checked Princeton’s policy on Questbridge about SCEA. Unfortunately, you cannot match and apply SCEA.</p>
<p>I would personally recommend doing QB without the match and applying to Princeton SCEA.</p>
