<p>Imagineer, QB can’t name every qualified kid a finalist, and every finalist can’t be matched. Suppose every one of the 2,438 finalists listed a certain college as its first choice. Do you expect that college to take every one of those kids? QB finalists would fill the entire freshman class of some of the QB schools. It’s a numbers issue, nothing more. It’s why valedictorians with perfect SATs get turned down from top schools all the time – many more great applicants than seats.</p>
<p>You’ve been admitted into some fantastic schools. By your own admission, your QB app wasn’t as strong as your Common App. Perhaps that why you weren’t a finalist but did get accepted to Princeton. Rejoice! I hate seeing you spend so much time knocking a program that has helped so many.</p>
