<p>I have posted some on this before. I am a 2013 Questbridge Columbia Student. If I can help answer your questions, I will try. I personally feel that Questbridge was more of a shining light rather than hook. It is not something that can single-handedly get you in. It is your application that will do the work for you. The process of QB is very rigorous and those who get to the Selection process are already stellar students for the most part. I felt that QB really did help me get my foot in the door but I did not stop at that. I went to the Columbia engineering experiences and made sure the admission officer got to know me better than what they could garner off of the application. </p>
<p>I would say weigh your matches well, so that you dont regret it in the future, and be serious about your application. </p>
<p>I found a really good reception with the questbridge officer.</p>
