QuestBridge Question

<p>Would an income of about 75-80k for a family of 5, with 2 hs students and 1 undergrad student, all 3 students are first generation students, 2 where born in poland, be eligible for questbridge?
I got an email from questbridge but the site says the average income is 0-60k so idk :(</p>

<p>I think it would be eligible... apply and if they don't select you, you had practice with an application.. Old graphs used to show inome up to 80K...</p>

<p>You can write them, I didn't see anything about number of children, etc. although I would think family size would influence your gross income. We always get the emails but are at least 30,000 over the max, so I ignore them.</p>

<p>i think you should apply regardless :]
its a great program & at the very least it will make you start college applications early :D
and if you have college students in your family and high school students who will probably be going to college soon..then a 75 k income will probably not cut it for a student who is aiming for really top schools</p>

<p>this has some stats on income..its from questbridge :]

<p>hope that helps! good luck :]</p>

<p>btw..are you a senior? if youre a junior you could probably apply for the college prep scholarship. which is really great cuz all the top schools get your name & sometimes invite you to visit for free :]</p>

<p>There is no strict income cut-off for Questbridge and especially if you have a large number of people in your family, trust me, they will take that into account.</p>

<p>I was a Questbridge finalist for 2008, and my parents make over 80k with a family of 5, 3 to be in college next year. However, we had some special circumstances that were considered.</p>

<p>Question: I have great grades and ECs, and I live most of the time with one parent who makes ~40,000/year. But both my parents have law degrees and my other parent also has a degree in social work. I'm an only child and white. So I'd have no shot at questbridge, right?</p>

<p>Your QB Application and CSS ask for both parents, but your FAFSA just asks for your custodial parent.</p>

<p>Honestly? prolly not.</p>
