Admissions Advice

Should I apply ED through Questbridge or the Common App?
Answered

My top choice is Bowdoin College. I am not a Questbridge Finalist, although I blame my financials because I was way over the income limit. I got accepted for their Explore Bowdoin program, which is a good sign. Should I use the work I have already done to apply ED with Questbridge, or should I use the Common App? I also found one or two grammatical errors in my Questbridge essays, and the Common App would allow me to add an extra recommendation letter from my employer, which should be very positive. Any tips would be helpful!

It would be best to correct your mistakes on the common app and add the extra recommender if you want to maximize your chances of getting into Bowdoin.
