[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it an unnecessary middleman? Do you know how much of a hassle it is to contact 12 schools individually and get confirmation regarding a fee waiver?

QuestBridge Match guarantees a full scholarship with no loans, and it also covers books and supplies and gives a stipend for health insurance/travel. It is part of their agreement with the organization. The FA packages students get tend to be much more generous with Match than with Regular Decision. Many of the colleges do package loans, or they have hefty student contributions, or they only cover up to room/board/tuition, leaving students to figure out the other substantial costs.

The application is a consolidated one like the Common App. It's an alternative application process. A low-income student who applied normally would go through the same track. Pick the Common App schools to apply to. Fill out the Common App and the supplements for each school. Submit financial aid information. QB works exactly the same.

Not to mention that the college admissions process is a mess to navigate and could be extremely challenging for a low income and first gen student coming from an under-served school. QB specifically tailors to help these students out.

You just sound unbelievably bitter. Get over it. The most respected colleges in the country know and respect QuestBridge.[/quote]

It's jealousy. The Questbridge college partners are indeed the best schools in the country https://www.questbridge.org/college-partners[/quote]

YAY!!!!!!  My niece  (I posted up thread) got accepted to University of Chicago through the QB.  Full ride!!!!!  Her next in order choices were Brown, Princeton, Vanderbilt and John Hopkins.[/quote]
