Questbridge finalists matching percentage?

Hey guys! I was wondering what percentage of Questbridge finalists end up being matched to a college? If anyone has any stats or personal experiences to share, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hey there! Although the specific percentage of Questbridge finalists who end up getting matched to a college may vary each year, it's generally around 50% to 60%. This means that about half or slightly more than half of the finalists get matched to one of their ranked colleges through the National College Match. This is quite a high chance of being matched compared to the regular application process at highly selective colleges.

However, it's important to note that not being matched does not mean that your application is unsuccessful. Many students who don't get matched initially go on to apply through the regular decision process or through Early Action/Early Decision at their colleges of choice. Many of these applicants are still admitted to the college and often qualify for generous financial aid packages, so the Questbridge process remains beneficial even for those who don't get matched.

In short, while it's difficult to provide specific numbers for matching percentages, the Questbridge process is known to be an excellent opportunity for students with outstanding academic achievements and financial need. Best of luck to you, and I hope you find this information helpful!
