Same @boogy2020 I’m super anxious 
Good luck everyone!
Guys. Decisions are out!
I didn’t make it. rip.
I got my decision! Qualified for Finalist!!!
My D’s friend made finalist. only one at our school.
Finalist!
@boogy2020 , can you tell me what “finalist” means.
@BingeWatcher So if you are a finalist, all of your application fees to the 40 college partners are waived. Also, finalists are now entered into the national college match. If they do not match to a college partner, then they enter the regular decision round. If a finalist matches or is accepted to a partner college, they become a questbridge scholar when they attend.
Wishing you the best of luck. Thank you!
Didn’t make it, but good luck with the next round everyone who did!
I am not a finalist either, but congrats to everyone who is!!
Hey guys, I’m a finalist. I never joined this chat before, but heyyy
@GSM158320 Hi! Sorry for the late response. Congrats!
One more day!! I hope Questbridge sets a record amount of students this year that get matched.
Even if you dont get matched tomorrow, dont despair. Remember, the majority get picked during Questbridge Regular Decision. Good luck everyone!
Anyone know the discord invite code for the questbridge groupchat?
Did anyone get a response for whether or not they got matched?
Yeah, I got matched with Stanford
Posting for my son’s info, since I know I searched previous years results, so hope this helps future applicants.
