Questbridge Scholarship - 2008

Paying for College Access Programs (Questbridge, Posse)
1481

<p>Wow, after that night on November 30th and not being matched to either YPS, Columbia, or Notre Dame, I honestly began to resent Questbridge and felt like another poster in that I felt it did not accomplish much. But I went ahead and decided to give a shot forwarding my application to the colleges. </p>

<p>Four months later, and after this weekend, I would recommend Questbridge to anyone. Seriously. It has helped me so much. I ended up forwarding my application to Notre Dame in consideration for their early action. To my surprise, I got accepted without having been matched earlier. This weekend, I received early acceptances from both Williams and Amherst, both schools that I had forwarded my application to. I didn’t expect much. When I saw the letters, I was shell shocked. Literally. </p>

<p>The advice I would give is that don’t put too much on getting matched. Only a small percentage do. It’s the regular decision that counts and that’s where Questbridge shines.</p>

1488

<p>congratulations everyone! I have one question, did you guys get a call or early letter from them to let you know you guys are in?</p>

1489

<p>Wow, socalfreak4life and Sheed! Those are some amazing schools. Congratulations to you both!</p>

<p>Hamman, decisions went out on Sat, but since I was convinced I wouldn’t get in, I didn’t bother checking. So on Sunday at about 4-5 pm pacific time, I got a call from a current MIT student informing me of my admission, and their open house kinda thing for admitted studets. From USC, and the UCs I got a letter.</p>

1491

<p>oh I see, the schools I’ve applied to don’t have decisions until March 31st</p>

1492

<p>Way to go Sheed!!! I’m soooo happy for you! :)</p>

1493

<p>Yeah! Thank you so much!</p>

<p>To the other poster: peeps on CC told me to check chicago online today, and there it was!<br>
I also got into USC a couple days ago and that was from snail mail</p>

<p>DS got accepted to Swarthmore so far out of 7 applications. He was a QB semi finalist. I would assume that helped his application.</p>

1498

<p>Just thought I would bump this thread back up. It was buried pretty deep.
So is there any Questbridge finalists or non finalist still waiting on decisions?
Waiting on Wellesley, Amherst and Vassar for D.</p>

1499

<p>I am a QB finalist waiting on decisions from Amherst, Bowdoin, Emory and Swarthmore.</p>

1500

<p>i was a QB finalist who decided not to go through with the MATCH process.
and so far,
i’ve gotten into: swarthmore
and likely letters from: Columbia and Brown</p>

<p>Still waiting on Harvard/Yale</p>
