<p>You don’t wanna rank any schools that you’re the least bit unsure about, since the match is binding! I’d recommend doing the match only for Penn (your 1st choice?) and the 4 non-binding schools (Stanford, Princeton, Yale, MIT). 
Everywhere else: Forward your Questbridge app for regular decision (if you don’t match). You literally get the same aid.</p>
<p>Here’s how it works:
You must have an EFC of $0 to be matched. However, such EFC doesn’t guarantee a match. Why? It’s possible that the colleges try to manipulate their acceptance rates/etc.for specific rounds. It doesn’t mean you get any less aid, though. If you’re income remains the same, you should be eligible for the same amount (given that you’re admitted).</p>
<p>PS: You might wanna add (or replace with) some of the less selective partner schools to your list, in order to maximize your chances of getting an 100% need school. Admissions were brutal this year, and they’re only getting worse. Not to discourage you, of course. Just trying to increase your options. Also, make sure you pick your colleges based on fit, above anything else. I didn’t. I was lucky enough to get into a great fit anyways, but it could’ve gone the other way lol</p>
