My scholar match kid was named a finalist for QB!

Yes, although there are these exceptions:

Exceptions to the QuestBridge Early Application Policy

  • Students may apply to any college or university that requires an early application for eligibility to special scholarships or programs, as long as the admissions decision is non-binding.
  • Students may apply to their home-state public college or university with a non-binding early application option, as long as applying to QuestBridge does not violate that college’s policies.
  • Students may apply to any college or university with a non-binding rolling admission process.

So, there’s no reason to not apply to a rolling admit school and/or one’s state public(s). As for any college applicant and their list, it’s important to have at least one affordable highly likely/safety school.
