<p>You CAN apply REA if you don’t rank any schools for the Match.
Lots of applicants seem confused about this-here’s a quote and link to the QB ED page:</p>
<p>“Please note that students who apply to the College Match but do <em>not</em> rank colleges, or who are not selected as finalists, are not subject to any agreements with QuestBridge and are free to apply to any colleges for early or regular decision. Finalist notification is on October 22, 2013.”</p>
