<p>You’ve listed some of the most highly selective schools among the Questbridge partners. That reduces your chances for a match considerably, because a lot of other applicants will be doing exactly the same thing. If you can include some of the partner schools where your stats place you in that school’s top 25%, your chances for a match will be higher. I believe this post says it all:</p>

<p>My son read that post, researched – online and the Fiske guide – until he found 8 partner schools he was truly happy to commit to, where his stats and interests did look like a strong match, and through good fortune combined with good effort, was matched to his top choice school. Even if he hadn’t been matched, the amount he – and we – learned through he process of researching the partner schools, and the application/aid process in general, was valuable.</p>
