I'm considering QuestBridge Regular Decision but want to be sure it's non-binding. Can someone confirm this or explain the commitment level for accepted students?
Absolutely, QuestBridge Regular Decision is non-binding. QuestBridge's College Match process is the only binding element of their program. When you apply through College Match, and you get matched with a college, you commit to attending that college if accepted, much like an Early Decision program.
However, if you use the QuestBridge Regular Decision process, you are not bound to any particular college. If you're recommended for admission you can choose to attend that institution, but you're not obligated to do so.
In other words, after you receive all your admissions decisions, you can compare offers, evaluate financial aid packages, and choose the institution that will serve you best. It provides you with the most flexibility, which is ideal if you want to keep your options open.
Just make sure to adhere to all the application requirements and deadlines, and submit the necessary financial information, as QuestBridge is designed to assist students with demonstrated financial need. Good luck with your applications!
