Q: Why should a low-income student apply to QuestBridge?
A: "To me, it's a no-brainer. The application itself
helps to level what is a very uneven playing field. The application
offers the opportunity for them to explain to us any situations that
might not come out in a conventional application. It can help us to
better understand compelling circumstances."

Check Selection Criteria
for the National College Match.
Review our partner colleges and look over the
test requirements and
National College Match application requirements
for all colleges that you intend on applying to.
Sign up for a
QuestBridge account.
Complete the following steps as soon as
possible:
Open your QuestBridge application
and review the questions, especially the essay questions, so that
you can begin to think about your responses.
Generate recommendation forms and
give them to your recommenders as early as possible, preferably
during the first week of school.
Open your QuestBridge application
and enter information for the two teachers who will write your Teacher
Recommendations and the counselor who will write your Secondary School Report.
These forms will then appear in printable format on your My Locker page.
Print the recommendation forms from your My Locker
page and give them to the teachers and counselor who will complete them.
Ask your high school to submit an official copy of your school
transcript and standardized test scores via fax to QuestBridge using the designated fax coversheet provided on your My Locker page.
Assemble necessary documentation (transcripts,
test score reports, most recent tax returns) that you will need to complete the application.
Complete the online QuestBridge student application.
As part of the application, you will need
to rank the colleges that you want to have consider you for admission
and the National College Match scholarship. It is important to note that you
should only rank the colleges that you are certain you would want to
attend if awarded admission and a full scholarship. You may rank as few as
one college or as many as 8 of QuestBridge's 20 partner colleges.
