Yes, you can still apply for QuestBridge and opt out of the Match. Perfectly optional.
I’m not sure of the exact acceptance rate of QB finalists in the RD round; however, I noticed that the website updated QB yield rates after the admissions cycle concluded and I found myself to be among about 30 finalists who had been accepted to Stanford by April so I’m assuming that either the acceptance rate is generally higher for RD (as would be expected in comparison to the Match), or that the 2010 QB applicants in general were super competitive, without QB finalist status.
