<p>a couple factors to consider:
- the results you get back depend on how meritorious the candidate is AND the overall acceptance rate of the colleges chosen in the app process. Looks like the OP child has great stats. QB has a variety of schools in its partnership from the ubder selective (eg, columbia/mit at 6 pct) to the less selective (some 30-40 pcters). If the OP child had only the more selective schools in the application list, it might be a gooseegg , as it would for anyone. QB does remind us that you hv to satisfy the entrance criteria of the school. also, even 30-40 pct schools are more selective. </p>
<p>One thing I noticed about many QB 30-40 pct LACs is that they tend to waitlist people - ck the Princeton Review guidebook which reports the numbers put on waitlists.</p>
<p>2) check the profile stats that QB publishes from the previous year . My recollection says that it was roughly 20-30 pct - or was it 48 pct?- of the qb applicants (or was that the finalists?) get into a partner school during RD. ANother way of saying that is 80-70 pct (52 pct) do not get into a partner school RB.</p>
<p>I was going to write that post you wrote till d got an acceptance .</p>
