<p>Ok, I looked on the QB website, and I can’t find it now but I know when I was applying last year they had some sample essays you could read. If I remember right, only one or two of the samples (out of around 5) focused on the student’s financial situation. So basically, I agree with 2blue, just write about what you feel will show you off the best.</p>
<p>Also, QB gives these tips ([QuestBridge:</a> Applying to College](<a href=“http://www.questbridge.org/resources/applying/writing_essays.html]QuestBridge:”>http://www.questbridge.org/resources/applying/writing_essays.html)) which I think are really helpful considering these are the people who will read your essays.</p>
