Applying Early Action to Non-QuestBridge Schools

So this is what they replied to my email:

“Thank you for contacting us. If you choose to rank one or more colleges for the National College Match, you cannot apply to other colleges through Early Decision, Early Action, or Single-Choice Early Action (also known as Restrictive Early Action), even if all the schools ranked are non-binding schools. Because QuestBridge acts as a representative of our college partners, applying to QuestBridge and another early program violates the policies of many of our participating college partners.
If you choose not to rank any colleges (and apply only through QuestBridge Regular Decision), you may apply early to other colleges outside of QuestBridge. Also, if you apply to QuestBridge but are not selected as a Finalist, you are released from this policy and may apply early to any colleges.”

So it seems like it’s because of the participating schools, not really QuestBridge itself.
