<p>The Questbridge app is designed to bring out the qualities they believe the low income applicant should emphasize. There are fewer spaces for ECs and awards, I believe, than in the common app, but there is also a section where you can add anything you think you need to increase your chances. </p>
<p>You are correct that in the Match round, you will only be matched with the first school on your list that accepts you. You can list only one school if you choose (or none, for that matter). But you can’t apply ED to any college.</p>
<p>Unless you are matched, you will be submitting the common app and the school-specific supplement to most QB schools to apply regular decision. The QB app becomes an additional supplement at that point. My son added “Questbridge Finalist” to the National Award section of the common app, so even the non-QB schools he applied to were aware of it. </p>
<p>The Match Decisions for last year were released Dec. 1st, so the October SAT scores were okay. I think it was a little stressful since the scores went right to the colleges. My son used his junior year (May) scores.</p>
<p>Questbridge has a lot of information on its site, and I strongly suggest you explore it thoroughly; most questions can be answered by studying the site. But I know it seems that the information is in a lot of different places. Here’s the answer to your other questions from the National College Match Agreement, which you can find at [QuestBridge</a> National College Match Agreement Form](<a href=“http://www.questbridge.org/ncm/match_agreement.html]QuestBridge”>http://www.questbridge.org/ncm/match_agreement.html)</p>

<p>And don’t hesitate to email QB directly; they respond quickly and are friendly.</p>
