I come from a low-income family and believe I meet the academics needed for Questbridge - I only know about it from one of those random college emails. Anyway, the application is due very soon on sept 28, yet I don’t know if I should apply.

For early decision, ranking schools, I believe the college match is binding and the “full tuition” is given for finalists that are also accepted to that particular college? (except for MIT, Yale, Stanford, and Princeton)

I’m thinking moreso towards RD with most of my choices, though my biggest question is 1. how will QB help with RD if there is no guaranteed scholarship and wouldn’t I save a lot of work if I just apply to school w/o it and apply for the school’s specific financial aid or hope for some merit aid, etc? Thanks.
