Questions about questbridge

<p>I've been thinking about applying to Stanford, and maybe Princeton, through questbridge in fall, and I had a couple of questions.</p>

<p>First, is it true that questbridge matches are usually valedictorians, because that's what some kid's at my school told me, but IDK how they'd know</p>

<p>Second, if i'm not a questbridge finalist could I still apply SCEA to stanford?</p>

<p>Third, could you tell me if you think I have a good chance of getting matched....here are my stats and thanks alot for your time.</p>

<p>yeah dont worry about anything. you are black and poor. perfect for colleges.</p>

<p>Here's a link to the profile of the match recipients from this year:</p>

<p>National</a> College Match Program: 2007 College Match Recipient Profile</p>

<p>It doesn't specifically say how many were valedictorians, but 78% were in the top 5% of their class and 94% were in the top 10%.</p>

<p>Most of the match recipients (73%) are the 1st in their family to attend college.</p>

<p>If you aren't chosen as a finalist, then you can apply SCEA to Stanford, but if you're a finalist and aren't matched, I think you can only apply regular decision (according to their info on QB, but you could always contact admissions at Stanford just to make sure).</p>
