General Comments: I’m super depressed about this and I don’t think I’m going to apply to be a Questbridge finalist. I think my family’s assets played a considerable part in this decision, but if colleges think that means I don’t need aid they’re wrong. I have no idea what I’m going to do come time to apply for college now, I was really hoping to do it through Questbridge. Anyway, congratulations to all who did receive the scholarship.
