QuestBridge National College Match 2015-16

Hey everyone
I just got a message from Pomona saying thanks for submitting an application and they then gave me a link to their check application page and then it says Awaiting several items and then says
Awaiting: Questbridge Scholar Early Decision Agreement
Awaiting: Questbridge Application.

Anybody else who ranked Pomona get this? And could this possibly be an early sign that I am a finalist? If not should I call Pomona’s admissions office because I haven’t personally submitted any application to them.

@Blueoncemoon I got the same message too! Hopefully its a good sign

@hannah2016 I Know!!! I’m so nervous and I really hope I’m writing all these supplements for something!

Are you guys using the same biographical essay for the Common App? Because Yale requires it but none of the other colleges I’ve ranked specify.

so I just now read about the policy that says that applying to any other colleges through EA is a violation of the regulations. I have almost completed an app for another college and I really don’t not want to submit it, since I don’t even know if I’m a finalist yet… what’s wrong with applying EA to other schools?

@SPAZDA I used the exact same main Questbridge Essay for my Common App essay

@ccooffffeeee There are exemptions to that policy!
If the school you want to apply to meets any of the following criteria, go ahead and apply!

The criteria are:
-Students may apply to any college or university that requires an early application for eligibility to special scholarships or programs, as long as the admissions decision is non-binding.
-Students may apply to their home-state public college or university with a non-binding early application option, as long as applying to QuestBridge does not violate that college’s policies.
-Students may apply to any college or university with a non-binding rolling admission process.

Best of luck!

@lilmonet1 this is so stressful :confused: I guess I’ll wait to see the finalist results before worrying about it anymore lol

What time do results come out? Midnight?

@gearsstudio They’ve been released at 4-6 pm EST in the past. (Correct me if I’m wrong!!)

I just realized I forgot to submit the match agreement!! I feel like such an idiot…am I screwed?

@YoAdriaaaaan I don’t think you can be matched without submitting that form, and the deadline for it was October 13; I’m really sorry :frowning: You should still email Questbridge though and see what they say probably

@SPAZDA
Wait what do you mean we can “change” our ranking. So wait if I want I could log onto questbridge right now and change the order of my ranking?

I was on the fence on whether I wanted to rank brown or princeton over each other. I ended up with Brown 3rd and princeton 4th. But now I think I might prefer princeton over brown. So if we can change our ranking that’d really be great for me.

@Alpha101
You can switch around rankings. For example, you COULD change the rankings for Brown and Princeton around. But you would have resubmit the Match Agreement form.

@Blueoncemoon @hannah2016 Can you guys still access the Pomona application page? I can’t see mine anymore…

@Alpha101
Edit: You can change your rankings if you’re chosen as a finalist.

You can access your application as it was submitted to questbridge but you can’t edit it, of course @Aralis

@YoAdriaaaaan I was talking about Pomona’s application page… sorry! Should have clarified.

@Aralis my mistake :))

@Aralis

No I can’t see the application status anymore either. I’m hoping it was an accidental leak that indicates we’re finalists since otherwise I don’t think they would even send the information to the ranked schools. That would also explain why we can’t see the application status anymore if they locked it after they found out it leaked early. This is all speculation on very little information of course but I’m just working with what I have. Really hoping I’m right
