<p>I ranked: 1. Yale 2. MIT 3. Princeton 4. Stanford.</p>
<p>Does each school see what number you ranked them? I’m 99% sure they don’t, but I don’t remember where I heard this. It would be really fantastic if they did though :p</p>
<p>I remember reading that somewhere too, apparently colleges don’t see where you ranked them at, just that you ranked them
Although I actually think it would be more helpful if the colleges DID see which number ranked them as</p>
<p>i wished they would see the rankings, since i ranked only one school lol</p>
<p>They do not see the rankings.</p>
<p>oh well…</p>
<p>No, schools do not know where you ranked them. QB gives each partner school that you ranked your application. If they want you, they then tell QB. When QB has all the schools in, they run an algorithm that matches the students. If one school wants you, that’s who you are matched to, if more than one wants you, QB will only notify you of the one that wants you that was highest on your list. If not, you continue to RD.</p>
<p>5 days!!!1</p>
<p>Wow, November really came and went. I’m probably going to turn off my phone and computer on friday until 6 pm pacific to stay sane. I’ll keep myself preoccupied somehow until results come out…</p>
<p>This week is going to go by both so slowly and so quickly.</p>
<p>@rainydays05
Are you sure the results will come out at 6pm on Friday? I’ve checked both the Facebook and Questbridge pages but they only said November 30th. </p>
<p>This entire week is going to be really interesting. I’ve read through some of the past years’ threads, and the suspense starts to pick up during that last week. Nonetheless, I’ve prepared myself for rejection, and I’m really living by that proverb – “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.” </p>
<p>In this case, the worst is simply ED2, or the grueling wait of RD. I think we all know what the best is at this point :). Good luck mates, whatever happens - happens.</p>
<p>hah. the suspense started a week ago for me and its still going on until friday! I cant stop thinking about it!!!</p>
<p>Makes Friday extra special this week huh?
Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>@wallysmithjr, I think last year they came out at around 5 pm pacific, so I’m just going to wait longer so I’m not constantly refreshing my email. Nobody knows the exact time, but we can speculate.</p>
<p>I ranked Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, Bowdoin, Pomona, UChicago, and Northwestern in that order</p>
<p>Hmm, did no one else rank Tufts or Virginia?
They’re both awesome schools! I feel all alone lol</p>
<p>@Jphu8414 I ranked Virginia, but not Tufts. I wish I ranked Tufts.</p>
<p>Hey guys, this might seem like a stupid question, but how does questbridge notify your college matches? Is it like how they notify if you’re a finalist, in which they post a letter/chart thingy on your application status?</p>
<p>Another question: looking at the percentage of people matched, would you think that the standards for the college match are higher than those of a regular EA/ED? Or is it just that some people rank only 1-2 highly selective colleges? (no offense)</p>
<p>@yytan12</p>
<p>QuestBridge will notify us about our match status the same way they notified us about our finalist status. </p>
<p>The standards of the college match is no higher or less than any process at the particular college. The percentage of match students is so slow, because in combination, many students either do not have a 0 EFC (which is required to be matched at many schools and the financial aid obligations for matching students is a heavy burden for colleges), rank only the tippy top schools like Yale, Princeton, and Stanford, which obviously has more competition, and as you said, many students also only match a couple of schools.</p>
<p>Also from the list of matched students from last year’s round, QB colleges each typically match only 10 students (no matter how large their applicant pool is or how large their school is or how large their endowment is).</p>
<p>^Indeed, only a small handful of match recipients
Here are some numbers from 2011, number of Match recipients by school, very interesting to look at
Stanford: 20
Yale: 18
Princeton: 19
Upenn: 20
Uchicago: 30
Brown: 9
Columbia: 15
MIT: 7
Caltech: 3
Rice: 10
Notre Dame: 17
USC: 8
Virginia: 9
Emory: 9
Northwestern: 12
Tufts: 0 <== ?</p>
