<p>Thanks so much for doing that list nostalgic, that is fascinating information. It will be really interesting to look and see if the list is rearranged somewhat after RD rounds. I wonder if some schools accept most of their QB students through match and others via RD? Let’s hope so, ahem, Dartmouth. I was also really happy to see some of the schools with less overall campus diversity accepting relatively high # of students for match.
You could add updates for Bowdoin, Carleton, Grinnell, MIT, Oberlin, Stanford, Swarthmore, Trinity, USC, Vassar when you get them. :D? In your spare time lol!</p>

<p>Ivy Stanford, I know you can’t help being curious but knowing stats for QB matched students isn’t going to tell you anything. at. all. You know what good grades are. You know what good scores are. And we all know that every year QB kids and many others are admitted to “top” schools with low scores, mediocre GPAs, etc. etc. When high school students start believing (what admissions reps say and write all the time) that you are more – far far far more – than numbers, and that the deciding factors in college admissions almost always have to do with things other than stats…then the process will become a lot more sane. If you want to know why those kids ^ were matched or what you can do to increase your chances in RD, you’re asking the wrong questions!I’m not picking on you, it’s a widespread disease here on CC and in many US high schools.</p>
<p>IQm’ll second what Honeybee said. Questbridge is a unique program that allows adcoms to see past the typical application. Stats are useless to gather for match recipients…the simple answer is they were in the whole bunch of you, who did they think they wanted to offer an early admission to. The thing is, they want many applicants and will admit many more of you through ED and RD.</p>
<p>Honeybee, congrats on D being an Eph. Considering my daughter is a Lord Jeff and dating an Eph…I guess we could be friends! :)</p>
<p>Yikes, on phone and sorry for typos</p>
<p>Agreed. Stats play part of the role. Yet provide some necessary bearing.</p>
<p>My student who was not matched but received an email encouraging them to apply ED to Williams, was just accepted! Woo Hoo! I hope others were just as lucky!</p>
<p>@ktwofish: Awesome! And how nice that you care that your student was accepted-my daughter’s counselors really didn’t understand the QB program, nor did they care.
Judging by the facebook group-those who received “likely” letters from Williams and Columbia were accepted ED.</p>
<p>GA2112MOM, I tried to PM you when D was matched but your inbox is full!!! Considering the number of Amherst/Williams couples I have heard about, I think we can reach across the great divide lol! It’s all pretty exciting. After my last D goes through it next year, I can take a breather…before MCATs :0!</p>
<p>ktwofish, are you the counselor or the parent? In either case, congratulations to you and the student!</p>
<p>Got matched with Amherst! Im so excited’! I was wondering if any of the 13 other people were on here?</p>

<p>it’s very active community haha</p>
<p>honeybee63…I’m a public high school college advisor. It’s always so exciting when students are accepted and given such a life-changing opportunity!</p>
<p>ktwofish, I’m so glad you are out there! You would not believe (or maybe you would!) the number of college and guidance counselors who don’t know about Questbridge, don’t understand it or recommend it for their students if they do know about it, and just generally give terrible advice to high achieving low income kids. So many kids have to pursue the process on their own bc the counselor tells them they have to stay in state or does not know about application fee waivers, or worst of all, tells them they have no chance at any of the ‘reach’ schools. I’ve been reading the acceptances of QB kids, both matches and ED/EA acceptances at top schools and it is so exciting - there are hundreds and hundreds of them! Congrats again on your achievement :)</p>
<p>Thank you, honeybee 63 
I appreciate your comments, but guidance counselors in many areas do not have it easy. In my district, we have lost 3 counselors over the past 5 years. Guidance is the first place school districts cut in times of budget problems…at least in my area. The counselors remaining are dealing with daily crises, continual testing, and scheduling. We have 4 counselors for 2,000 students. We are fortunate to have had a local community group realize this was an issue (over 12 years ago), and they created a non-profit to provide post-secondary planning services to students. I’m their employee, and I work hand in hand with the guidance counselors. </p>
<p>I love my job! <3</p>
<p>Hey Hungrybeaver,</p>
<p>I am also matched with Amherst! Look forward to meeting you and the other 12 Scholars.</p>
