I don’t see much of a downside to applying. The cost savings if a finalist are substantial, and there is a boost from being a QB finalist. Some of the essay prompts are the same as ones on the Common App, so you are getting an early start on getting your essays done, plus it is good to get recommendations early when teachers are more likely to be able to spend more time writing them. The worst case scenario is even if not selected as a finalist you are well prepared for the rest of your college applications.
