Match Participation Agreement
Acknowledgement of Binding Nature of National College Match

The QuestBridge National College Match (NCM) is a binding program done in lieu of other Early Decision, Single-Choice Early Action, and Multi-Choice Early Action programs. The NCM program is appropriate for students who are sure that at least one of the QuestBridge partner colleges is a first choice for them. Guidelines for the NCM are as follows:


1. Applicants to the NCM may rank up to eight colleges in order of their preference. Final rankings must be submitted online via the ''My Locker'' page (http://application.questbridge.org/locker) by October 12, 2009 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time. By ranking colleges, students are stating that they want to be considered for admissions at the colleges they have ranked, and that they will definitely enroll if ''Matched'' with any one of those colleges.*


2. QuestBridge NCM applicants may file Regular Decision applications at other colleges, but only with the understanding that these applications will be withdrawn and no new applications will be initiated if they are ''Matched'' with one of the QuestBridge partner colleges.* It is a violation of the regulations of this program to file an Early Decision, Single Choice Early Action, or Multi-Choice Early Action application elsewhere.**


3. Should a QuestBridge NCM finalist violate the binding provision of this program, the college has the right to withdraw their offers of admission and financial aid from the candidate. The college may also inform other schools of the violation.


4. The Match Participation Agreement must be signed by the applicant, the applicant's parent or guardian, and the applicant's high school counselor in order to affirm that they fully understand the provisions of the QuestBridge NCM agreement. The deadline for faxing in this document is October 12, 2009 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.


I am a candidate for the QuestBridge National College Match (NCM) and agree to abide by the rules described above. My rankings for the QuestBridge NCM program are correctly represented on this page and in the ''Rankings'' section of my ''My Locker'' webpage. I have not submitted another Early Decision or Early Action application. If matched with one of QuestBridge's partner colleges, I will enroll at that college and will immediately withdraw all applications from other colleges.*

*Being ''Matched'' at MIT, Notre Dame, Princeton, Stanford and Yale is not binding. You will not have to withdraw other applications if matched with one of these schools. You are not required to attend if matched.


**Even if you only rank the non-binding schools listed above, it is still a violation of the regulations of this program to file an Early Decision, Single Choice Early Action or Multi-Choice Early Action application elsewhere.
