That’s a tough question – if you’re not a URM or first generation college student, your odds of getting into the top-4 non-binding QB schools is probably less than the odds of getting into Harvard: well under 5 percent between the four of them.

My son applied to MIT and Yale via Questbridge last year and didn’t get matched to either, ED or RD. He’s white, both parents have completed college and he had a 36.0 ACT and a 1/400 class rank, plus dual 800 SAT II’s.

He did get matched to Brown, Amherst, Williams and Northwestern during RD – all fine top-notch schools. He chose Brown, but had a tough time when it was his turn to say “no” to the others.
