[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only issue I have with Questbridge is that so many people cheat. There are a zillion ways to hide your income. Tiktok is full of Questbridge kids posting from their large suburban homes. My teens are very salty about it: "i know the cost of living is lower elsewhere but what the heck?"[/quote]

This is true. I know a few ppl got in and they have a huge house[/quote]

OK so QB does allow for extenuating circumstances and it is the colleges who check finances, not QB. I guess sometimes we don’t know what all is going on behind closed doors but I have seen a lot of moms say their kids have got QB even though they were not LI. [/quote]

My kid is Hispanic and was offered QB. I have no idea why. We are solidly UMC and exceed the financial limits. They still encouraged him to apply but he declined.[/quote]
What does this even mean? As a questbridge scholar, I don’t think most of this thread is telling the truth. There’s an income cap, and it is very difficult to get QB if you exceed that cap. For Match, many questbridge schools are looking for 0 EFC and some require it to match. The people who’ve somehow hid their incomes and properties would’ve received the same amount of money anyway. No one is “offered” Questbridge, you apply, because a finalist or don’t, and then choose to do the Match if you want to.[/quote]
