He’s a “Quest Scholar.” I owe CC for showing me the way…and yes, based on need and incredible Matt-magic.



How touching that through Questbridge Matt was able to overcome the financial and intellectual impoverishment of his family. No doubt another chaotic Florida household, such as featured on “Cops”, bereft of books, a yard littered with cars in disrepair, benighted parents who know nothing of higher educashun save for what his mother, with her penchant for ideating about ventilating Adcoms, stumbles across on CC. From within this wretched hive of ignorance and squalor Questbridge finds glinting the rough jewel of Matt, with his 2340’s, that they cut and polish to that sparkling gem now adorning Pomona College.

Is that how it went? ;-)

If you come from a household earning more than this amount but still feel that you have faced economic hardship, there is room on the application to explain your situation.
