Stanford & Quest Scholars

Word on the street says that Stanford accepts most (all?) QuestBridge finalists who apply.
Anyone know the validity of that?

You heard from the already? I thought they didn't notify anyone until Oct. 17th?

No, I applied for the program the summer before last. It's been so long I've sort of forgotten about it.

if you made it to semi-finalist in the Summer thing does that look good at all...

I made it to the next round for Quest Scholars last year. The invitation says I'm a semifinalist, but the certificate I got says I'm a finalist. Which one is it??

Also, when you say every finalist was accepted, do you mean Quest Scholars or Quest Bridge? Scholars is supposedly the more presitigious one, and Bridge is for people who don't qualify for Scholars.

well i dont think bridge is for ppl not accepted to scholars considering I didnt find out about questbridge/scholars until it was too late to apply for scholars....BTW anyone find out their status for questbridge?

Quest Scholars is the original

In its original form, the Quest Scholars Program accommodated only 22 new students each year, selected from a nationwide pool often exceeding 2,000 applicants. The Quest founders created QuestBridge in order to link a larger number of qualified applicants with exceptional opportunities for higher education.
