What would the advantage of using Questbridge's application for regular decions versus the college that you are applying to application?

ExcitedG

I don't quite comprehend your question, but if you're asking about the advantage of Questbridge during RD, the answer is quite simple. If you make it as a finalist, and get rejected from the college match program colleges see that you were a finalist, and they want to broaden their diversity (cliche, I know) so they take students were finalists much easier.

Think of it this way. Last year, around 4000 people applied to Questbridge. 2000 were finalists. 300ish were matched to schools. And 700+ were accepted into RD.

BlackRose21

o ok but the 700+ that were accepted into RD, were they all finalist?

ExcitedG

I believe I specified that they were.

But that gives you oh-so-much more hope, don't it?

BlackRose21

haha yeah. I was just making sure before I got myself excited. Thanks for the info it kind of got confusing once I started talking to other people from other forums.

But now that I think about it, that's a lot of finalist!

^blackrose, a surprising number of Questbridge finalists end up getting accepted to Questbridge partner schools in RD (including me...albeit I was wait-listed) Plus it's nice for the colleges to see more of your essays and materials from your Questbridge app if you make it to Finalist

When does the new app come out?

First week of July is my wild guess, just as college applications come out.

BlackRose21

If late August is the announced date, I guess we'll all wait till then. Good luck to this year's applicants.
