Questbridge vs. ED/EA

<p>I was wondering would the chance of acceptance using Questbridge National College Match be higher for colleges like the University of Chicago or Northwestern as opposed to just applying ED/EA to those universities? If not, then what is so great with Questbridge instead of the full ride scholarship? Is it really worth the time if the acceptance chance is the same to do Questbridge when I can just use the common app to apply to those universities?</p>

<p>Also, if I apply and am not a finalist, do you think there is enough time to apply ED/EA to those same universities since we get our notice on October 21st? Would it be better if I just apply ED/EA using the common app so my application will get to the schools earlier and get a better chance?</p>
