For the two or three essays you have to write for Questbridge, are they to determine the finalists, or are they being sent to colleges as well? And if they are being read by colleges, will we have to send in the essays that the college itself requests?
QuestBridge will send your application to the schools you list for the College Match, so yes, the colleges you choose will see those essays, if you are a finalist who opts into the Match.
For regular decision, you make a separate list of schools you would like to receive your QB application. Most schools also require the Common App, but encourage you to reuse your QB essays, so you don't have to write additional ones - unless you want to.
