<p>Yes you should. You’ll probably be a finalist, and though I can’t be sure I think a lot of determining finalists is QB deciding just based on stats alone. The matching is done by schools, and that’s where money comes in, I think. (I have reasons for thinking this, you can ask me if you like.) If you’re a finalist, then any applications to QB schools are free. (Usually, I’m pretty sure on this.) I only paid for one college app last year, and applied to four schools absolutely free, thanks to QB.</p>
<p>Recommendations…explain to your teachers/recommenders about QB and mine, at least, were more than understanding and got them done in time. Mine were, even my counselor stuff. </p>
<p>The application does suck, and it’s very very stressful for a few weeks, especially if you’re a finalist and have to do all your common app stuff in about three weeks. You have a lot to get done in a short time, and a lot of requirements to fill, and even though I wasn’t matched with QB, it was so so so worth it for me. Besides, even if you aren’t matched your apps are done by the beginning of November. Which is great, let me tell you.</p>
<p>Edit: Oh yeah…and you’re way ahead of me, even knowing about it. I found out about it in late August and applied then, and I made it okay. You know four weeks before I did, you should be fine in terms of time.</p>
