What do I do with test scores?

Yes, please don’t be down on this person. Nearly all of us matches had a quick flash of doubt, no matter where we got accepted, unless it truly was our number one dream school, and even then in a few cases, I’m sure. This is a huge decision to make, and it’s a little scary that it was practically made for us, even if it was in our benefit. Make no doubt, we’re all very grateful and excited, but if I had gotten into a nonbinding school, I’d be exercising at least some of the freedom that offered, too.
It’s more like, if a person had the kind of application to get matched to a non-binding school, shouldn’t that person be free to use her assets in any way she sees fit? She’s obviously earned a great deal of respect from the admissions counselors. It’s not greedy or disrespectful, it’s common sense.
bethelka, congrats on your match. I hope you settle on a Quest partner school, the community seems so friendly and intelligent and great! You’ll be missing a lot if you don’t. I’ve gotten to meet a bunch of Questies who got matched to UChicago, and we’ve all hit it off very well. You’re not just being given a scholarship, but a support group and a known friendly community, and that might be one of the best assets on a unfamiliar campus. Whatever you decide, though, I wish you the best!
