Colleges and Universities You Wish Were QuestBridge Partners

Paying for College Access Programs (Questbridge, Posse)
1

<p>Hey, I’m sure every QuestBridge applicant has thought of applying to a school that wasn’t a QB partner school. I know I have. That being said, what colleges and universities do you guys wish were partner schools?</p>

<p>Here is my list:

  1. UCLA
  2. UCSD
  3. Hamilton College
  4. Colgate University
  5. Pitzer College
  6. Harvey Mudd College
  7. Claremont McKenna College
  8. Macalaster College
  9. Kenyon College
  10. Skidmore College
  11. Cornell University
  12. University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
  13. Case Western Reserve University
  14. University of Wisconsin - Madison
  15. University of Illinois - Urbana - Champaign
  16. University of Washington</p>

<p>And of course…</p>

<p>17) Harvard University</p>

<p>I realize this is a pretty long list and I probably would’ve had a much harder time deciding my eight schools. Also, when you list your schools, take into account that all QB schools are in the top fifty of either National University Rankings or National Liberal Arts Colleges Rankings</p>

<p>You got quite a list right there…</p>

<p>I’d add in
18) Georgetown
19) UC Berkeley
20) John Hopkins
21) Duke
22) Wash U St. Louis </p>

<p>I’m happy with the number of partner colleges QB’s affiliated with at the moment – and I hope for its continued success in the future!</p>

<p>I thought a lot about this too. I wish Duke and Wash U took part of QB. Aside from safeties and my QB rankings, these are the only other schools I plan to apply to RD if I don’t get matched.</p>

4

<p>Fun question! Definitely Georgetown, CMC and Harvard. All non-binding, of course.</p>

5

<p>All of the ones people have listed above me are great.
I also wish NYU, and Vanderbilt were on the list
Oh well…</p>

<p>I have insider information that Quest is considering 10-11 new partner colleges ;D They didn’t give the names of the college, but they told us they can’t drastically add new partner schools because the program has to grow as the schools grow.</p>

<p>Many of the schools you all listed may become partner colleges in the future!</p>

7

<p>some girls schools~
Bryn Mawr, Smith, MtHolyoke</p>

8

<p>I’d like to see Colorado College and Whitman College because they are in areas that are geographically under-represented in QuestBridge. I’m sure there are more that fit that criteria.</p>

9

<p>Colby College!</p>

10

<p>Berkeley
Georgetown
Harvard
There are no southern schools other than Emory, and although I was specifically avoiding southern schools, it still slightly irritates me that the area is so underrepresented (as was the midwest, in my opinion).</p>

11

<p>^ Rice is southern…</p>

12

<p>How about a few FL schools… Flagler College, University of Miami, Saint Leo’s, Ave Maria, and Rollins College.</p>

13

<p>University of the Pacific and University of San Francisco are also great Quest Bridge candidates. :-)</p>

14

<p>And Stonehill College in Mass. Pitt too btw.</p>

15

<p>barnard!!!</p>

16

<p>Questbridge is now partners with Colorado College and Vanderbilt!</p>

17

<p>connecticut college should be a QB partner school</p>

18

<p>Harvard
Georgetown
UT Austin
Duke
UNC</p>

19

<p>I just got a likely letter from Cornell, so I really, really wish they were a QuestBridge partner.</p>

<p>Besides them:
Harvard
Barnard
Carnegie
Bryn Mawr
Duke
Johns Hopkins
Georgetown
Harvey Mudd
Reed</p>

20

<p>Carnegie Mellon</p>
