Completing an application for the QuestBridge National College Match program requires an investment of time. You may wish to assess that investment in light of the information below.

QuestBridge's college partners are not obligated to accept any specific number of QuestBridge applicants. They evaluate QuestBridge applicants based on the same criteria that they use for other students.

One way to evaluate your chances of acceptance by one of our partner colleges through the QuestBridge National College Match program is by looking at the results from last year.
