[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agreed.  T20 universities and T10 lacs admit too many hooked applicants.  If they are admitting over 20% QuestBridge, they should increase their class proportionally.[/quote]

Nobody is admitt 20% QB. It is under 2% at most schools so just stop now.[/quote]

It's commonplace now for top colleges admitting over 20% QuestBridge.

24% affiliated with QuestBridge (Class of 2028)[/quote]

That is a mistake on the Questbridge site. Swat took 15 QB kids in the class of 28 and 15 in the class of 27.[/quote]

Could you please provide a source for this?  [/quote]

Do a bit of work. There is dat for almost every partner school available.[/quote]

I did , and I provided the link stating 24% Swat admits are QuestBridge.

If you are serious, burden is on you to counter evidence.  [/quote]
NP.  Could the difference be between matched QuestBridge students and students who went through the Questbridge application process, did not get matched, but still ended up going to Swarthmore? In the link, Questbridge says that 24% of Swarthmore's Class of 2028 are "affiliated" with Questbridge. If Questbridge surveys all its applicants, it might be possible that they know the colleges that its applicants ultimately attend, even if not matched through the program.[/quote]

It does work that way. If you apply through QB, do not match in NCM and apply RD — if you get into and attend a QB school, you are a QB scholar.

qB also has a summer program — I forget the name. CPS maybe? Not all apply through QB but would be affiliated with it.[/quote]
Swarthmore's Class of 2028 is 34% first-gen. It seems plausible that 24% of the Class of 2028 could have had some affiliation with Questbridge.[/quote]
