"Here is the timeline/process…

  • Applicant submits QB app by late September
  • Applicant finds out in late October whether or not they are finalist
  • If the applicant is a finalist they can do one of two things
    a) Rank up to 8 schools, if they rank only those schools see their app
    b) Don’t rank any schools, do ED/EA else where and/or participate in RD
    At this point the only way that QB schools would have seen the application is if the applicant had ranked them</p>

<p>If an applicant does not become a finalist some QB partner schools will allow the applicant to forward their QB app in place of the traditional app, but most will not allow this for non-finalists. They have no way of knowing that the person even applied for QB unless they forward the application. If an applicant does become a finalist and does not match and/or does not rank then they can forward their QB app to as many or few partner schools as they want, again they have complete control over which schools will see the app.</p>

<p>The only people that see your app when you submit it is people at QB. If the applicant choses to forward the app is when other schools start to see it. Let me know if you have any more questions…

in between the 1st two bullets is another unstated part which I will state since I am an ignoramus on this (and many other things)</p>

<p>-QB (whoever that is, but it is NOT the schools ) reviews the apps , rendering for each app, a ‘Finalist’ designation or rejection in toto.</p>

<p>QB at this phase of the process is simply judging whether each app is QB-worthy - meaning a high academic achieving under low income/financial hardship and that would fit SOMEwhere in the partner schools."</p>
