Do you guys suggest Questbridge?

My son applied via Questbridge, was accepted to 4 of their schools during RD and chose Brown.

That said, Questbridge has a very early deadline and is a fair amount of work for just one school application. Plus QB is fairly competitive and I don’t think a 1590 SAT will get you to finalist status unless your circumstances and essay are quite extraordinary.

If you were to get into Brown, your out-of-pocket costs for a family income under $60k/year would be minimal, QB or not. My son needs to pay about $2400/year towards tuition, room and board (technically, this is work-study money) plus an estimated $2800 a year for indirect costs (books, travel, pocket money). Net, it’s cheaper than living at home and going to community college.
