Questions from an Unusual Questbridge Candidate

Paying for College Access Programs (Questbridge, Posse)
1

<p>I'm E., RocketRider's daughter, and a couple of weeks ago I received a letter from Questbridge saying that I might be eligible for their College Prep Scholarship. Here's some of my questions about the applications process:</p>

<p>1) I'm a homeschooled high school junior who has no high school teachers to give recommendations- just professors I've taken classes from at the community college that I've been attending for the last few years. Is there anyone out there who has had experience with whether or not Questbridge will take college professors' recommendations?</p>

<p>2) How can I send my request for a recommendation to my recommender? Only by sending them the form via Questbridge?</p>

<p>3) Can I or should I consider applying for their other programs? I don't think I would have enough time, though.</p>

<p>And 4), if there's any other information about Questbridge that you could tell me, that would be great.</p>

<p>I would ask QuestBridge directly - either by phone or email. They’re really helpful and are going to be best at addressing specific questions. I will say that our experience is that they are quite flexible and invested in helping kids qualify, not keeping them out, so it’s definitely worth asking.</p>

<p>Look closely at the website for information about timing on the other programs - if you’re eligible for college prep this year you certainly have time to apply for college match and quest for excellence next year.</p>
