What is the QuestBridge Regular Decision acceptance rate?

I'm trying to understand my chances with QuestBridge Regular Decision. Does anyone know what the acceptance rate typically is for QB Regular Decision? How does it compare to other paths like applying directly?

QuestBridge doesn't have an acceptance rate that applies to students participating in the Regular Decision process specifically. What happens in QuestBridge Regular Decision is that you're considered for admission to the colleges you're applying to, not to QuestBridge itself. So the acceptance rate is different for each college and also depends on your specific qualifications, just as in the regular college application process.

When looking at the acceptance rates of specific schools through QuestBridge, data is somewhat scarce because most schools don't publish separate acceptance rates for QuestBridge Regular Decision applicants. However, it's widely regarded that applying via QuestBridge signals to colleges that you are both high-achieving and come from a low-income background, which can work in your favor at colleges looking to foster socioeconomic diversity.

Remember, your chances also heavily depend on other key factors like your GPA, SAT/ACT scores, extracurriculars, letters of recommendation, and essays. It's crucial to focus on these elements to make your application stand out. The fact that you are applying through QuestBridge will not necessarily increase or decrease your chances, but would rather provide context to your application and story.
