<p>This was partially inspired by a chance thread somewhere on this forum. I've received a letter from Questbridge, and I gather that it has something to do with giving opportunities to low-income students, but I've yet to grasp what it is they do, how they do, how it would help, and whether I should pursue it. </p>
<p>Any help would be great, thanks!</p>
<p>Bump da bump bump</p>
<p>Google it. I found the website in 2 seconds.
QuestBridge</a> Home Page</p>
<p>I've already visited the website, but I still don't know whether Questbridge gives students an edge in admissions, or what the whole process is. I know you fill out their application but then what?? What happens and what do they do? I just need someone to explain it to me in real, people terms.</p>
<p>Read as much as you can to get an idea of QB. Of course, however, if you read everything here, you'll pretty much know everything about it due to its lengthy Q&As. Please post your questions in that topic.</p>
<p>Lets have these topics merged into the stickied discussion</p>
<p>Read the official thread carefully and you'll find answers :)</p>
<p>I read the eligibility to the National College Match, but I still do not understand if an international student (not U.S. citizen or permanent resident)from a low-income family can apply for it.</p>
<p>Anyone, help?</p>
<p>scarecrowluv: First read the posts on the thread that repzolow gave, and then ask there.</p>
<p>I've always wondered what this was also so I'll give a quick summary of what I've learned recently. I don't know why people are being so vague, it's really not all that complicated and mega-threads are horrendous. </p>
<p>1.) Apply by the QB deadline with their application, and if you are selected as a finalist you participate in the "college match"
2.) In the college match you select up to 8 of the QB partner Universities and Colleges and rank them in order of which you'd want to go to.
3.) You apply and get your decision before EA/ED kids get theirs and if accepted you must attend the highest ranked college on your list (that you made), it's binding except in the case of 3-4 schools on the list.
4.) Once accepted you get a full scholarship, if denied then you apply to colleges as you would with other kids. As part of QB you submit additional essays that can be forwarded to your RD schools which past applicants have claimed to have helped them get in.</p>
<p>^^ it's clear what it is if you just look at the site, or look at a few posts on the official QB thread...</p>
