"For years, I feared that I would be unable to attend the school of my dreams because of limited finances; however, all said fears quickly faded after I received an e-mail from QuestBridge. I am so very thankful that QuestBridge aims to provide gifted, low-income students with such extraordinary opportunities."

Regular Decision Requirements



As a National College Match applicant, you may apply to any of QuestBridge's partner colleges via the QuestBridge Regular Decision process. Admission through Regular Decision is not binding and does not come with a guaranteed financial aid package.

You may apply to our partner colleges through the Regular Decision process whether or not you are a National College Match finalist, but please note that there are different requirements if you are a finalist or non-finalist.

You must complete two steps in order to apply to a partner college via the QuestBridge Regular Decision process:

  • Request Regular Decision application forwarding on your "My Locker" page between December 1st and December 15th.
  • Submit all required additional materials directly to the colleges. Required materials may range from submitting official transcripts to e-mailing the college's admissions office to submitting the Common Application.


All additional materials are due by the individual college's Regular Decision deadline. Please note that colleges may have different Regular Decision deadlines, and many partner colleges have different requirements for QuestBridge finalists who ranked their college versus those who did not.

Important: if you ranked a college and are applying to that college for Regular Decision, you must review their College Match Requirements to confirm that you completed your application. You may need to submit additional materials even if you already ranked the college for the College Match process.

Automatic Regular Decision Consideration: Please note that students who have ranked and completed the required materials for the University of Chicago, Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Stanford University, and/or Yale University will automatically be considered for Regular Decision. There is no need to contact their admissions offices. If you have ranked and submitted your materials to any of those colleges but do not wish to be considered for Regular Decision, you will need to contact the appropriate admissions offices to withdraw your application.

The Regular Decision Requirements are listed below for each of our 31 partner colleges. Again, please note that there may be different requirements for finalists versus non-finalists.
