<p>I haven’t checked Stanford specifically, but most QB schools allow you to apply ED if you’re not matched.</p>
<p>For example, if you find out you’re not matched on Dec. 1st, you could email Haverford, Wellesley, or many other schools and tell them you want to apply ED there.
UChicago will automatically consider you for EA if you’re not matched, and then you can forward for RD.</p>
<p>Essentially, through QB, you can go through the decision process potentially three times - which I think is really strategic.</p>
<p>Here is the FAQ page for Stanford: [College</a> Match Program: Stanford FAQ](<a href=“QuestBridge”>QuestBridge)</p>
<p>There’s also a table somewhere where they tell you how to forward your application for ED/EA/RD but I can’t find it right now.</p>
