<p>I am doing the match. I can rank Stanford and Yale AND still apply to Princeton during regular during RD or would I have to rank Princeton right now which I can't because I havent completed all the required tests.</p>
<p>You can just rank Stanford and Tale and then do Princeton regular...</p>
<p>idk if I should apply because I think our family income would be above that stated average.</p>
<p>as long as it's below 55k i think it's fine</p>
<p>where did you get 55K from?
and doesn't it also depend on your family situation? and where you live because Los Angele obviously has a higher living cost than like Iowa</p>
<p>it was a guess......</p>
<p>8 days left</p>
<p>Even if you live in LA, you obviously have more resources than somebody living in Montana. And you choose to live where you live, so high cost of living is not really an excuse.</p>
<p>Even if you are making about 55k in a high-cost area, you are probably still making two or one and a half times more than some families in other areas.</p>
<p>Apparently you can do Questbridge without ranking any colleges, right?</p>
<p>And if you don't rank any colleges, can you still use the Questbridge application to apply to Yale or Princeton in regular decision (non binding also?).</p>
<p>I'm not sure what impression people are under for this scholarship program, but I hope this clears something up - </p>
<p>(from the Questbridge application, under college match)</p>
<p>" "Binding" means that if you are admitted to a college through the National College Match, you are required to attend the school (with the exception of Princeton, Stanford and Yale which are not binding). You are required to withdraw your applications to other colleges. The college you match with is required to give you a full, four-year scholarship. </p>
<p>The Regular Admission process via QuestBridge's application forwarding service is not binding and does not guarantee full scholarships, although students who are accepted often receive excellent financial aid. "</p>
<p>Therefore it seems that if you were to apply to Yale or Princeton through the the match program you have nothing to lose - in either case you are not bound to the college, and if you did rank them, you'd open yourself up to the opportunity of a full scholarship.</p>
<p>princeton and yale are NOT binding then?</p>
<p>Also, the questbridge application forwarding.. can I forward a questbridge application to all colleges I apply to? Like, will colleges be able to see my questbridge application, even if they are not partner or anything? I like the advantage of the multi-faceted application.</p>
<p>Let's think this through logically.</p>
<p>Answer to your first comment: "... Princeton, Stanford, and Yale which are not binding."</p>
<p>To the second: Questbridge currently has 20 partner schools. Where does the mode of communication exist for non-partner schools to receive information (your application) from Questbridge? I don't see one. </p>
<p>Best of luck with your application.</p>
<p>Is there really a better advantage of getting into a school like Princeton and Yale through questbridge as opposed to regular/EA admissions?</p>
<p>I think it's disadvantage if you talk about accept %..but essay will make some amount of standing out...</p>
<p>So what is the benefit of applying through QB for colleges like Yale, Princeton, Stanford, etc? Each of them already give full ride to disadvantaged, so that's stricken off as an advantage...</p>
<p>I am starting to think that applying through QB will actually hurt your chances...</p>
<p>then just don't apply, it's not very complicated</p>
<p>Is anyone else stressing out from actually filling out the application? </p>
<p>Because I am. ^_^'</p>
<p>aeshchina! Yeah, I personally have been but after talking with an admissions dean from a partner college, I was convinced that applying won't hurt me or anyone else. But then again, it's tons of work. It's really up to the person!</p>
<p>The essays suck......god i hate writing essays, i'n NOT EVEN DONE!</p>
<p>For those hoping to either get a QB match scholarship or just a leg up on the competition so to speak, it is definitely worth the effort. You may ask yourself, do I have more time, or money?</p>
