What’s the update process for QuestBridge Regular Decision?

I'm working on my QuestBridge Regular Decision application and want to know how to update my application if new information arises. Is there a specific update form, and how often can I submit updates?

For the QuestBridge Regular Decision application process, if you have material updates that can significantly add to your application, you can usually send them directly to the admissions offices of the colleges you're applying to. New information could include recent awards, improved test scores, or substantial changes in your family's financial circumstances.

There is no specific update form provided by QuestBridge; updates are typically sent in the form of a letter or email. Start with a proper introduction, explain your current situation, state your updates clearly, and show how these updates could affect your application. Be sure to include your full name, QuestBridge ID, and the name of your high school for identification purposes.

Frequency of updates should be as necessary, but be sure not to inundate the admissions office with minor changes. You want to strike a balance between providing new, significant information and being respectful of the admissions offices' time. As a rule of thumb, limit your updates to substantial developments that occurred after your initial application submission.

Bear in mind, however, that each college has its own policy regarding application updates, so it's important to check the specific guidelines on each institution's admissions webpage or to reach out to the admissions offices directly for accurate information. Also, keep in mind that while updates can help present a fuller picture of your profile, final admissions decisions will still be based on a holistic review of your entire application.
