<p>Many of them do; you’ll have to research each one individually. However, only two of QB’s partners—Yale and Princeton—will consider international students in the Match round. Thus, they are the only two colleges for which an international student may get a Match scholarship.</p>

<p>A 2200 is excellent for QB. It’s great even for the colleges. Look at this for comparison:</p>

<p>Yes. The partner colleges are very generous with aid; even if you are not a finalist—and thus cannot be matched—you may still receive some aid in the RD round. It’s not likely that it will be a full scholarship, but you can get some.</p>

<p>The “Match” is the equivalent of ED or EA. You apply for the National College Match in late September; you find out your finalist status in late October; you apply to the colleges in early November; and you find out your match status (matched or unmatched) in the end of November. If you are not a finalist, you may apply for the early programs that some of the colleges have. If you are not matched, you may apply for regular decision; the deadline is typically early January and you find out your college decision with the many other thousands of applicants in late March or early April.</p>

<p>You would be under EA/ED. If you did not get matched, then you would be automatically deferred to the regular decision round.</p>
<p>(Technically, azsxdc is right; you do find out a few weeks before EA/ED applicants usually do. However, the binding/non-binding status of the program and the rough time frame are exactly like EA/ED.)</p>

<p>I’ll also add that QB allows you the option of selecting schools that they will forward your application to in the RD round, but that you don’t rank for the Match program. So let’s say I wanted to apply to Columbia; however, I don’t want to be bound to attend, so I choose not to rank it, and instead on the application, I ask QB to forward my application to Columbia in the RD round. It would not be on my ranked list, but I would be set for the RD round.</p>

<p>Exactly. For the past two years, roughly 500 students have been accepted in the RD round. That, combined with those matched, makes for an acceptance rate of roughly 40% through QuestBridge.</p>
<p>Just this past year, Stanford took over 100 students; the numbers were similar for schools like Yale, Princeton, Amherst, etc. The numbers for the year before last can be found here in the picture table:</p>

<p>That’s correct. Note, also, that a few colleges are non-binding even in the Match (Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and Notre Dame).</p>

<p>No, that isn’t true. For your EFC to be zero, your income is typically in the low 20k range. Even with a family’s assets taken into account, many students have non-zero EFCs and are still matched. See this:</p>

<p>I have quite a few friends whose EFCs were greater than zero and were still matched.</p>
