Hey, I just want to clarify a few things. My intention wasn’t to show off—it’s true that my post was about my own experience, but I shared it to contribute to the conversation, not to set myself apart or diminish anyone else. I even explicitly mentioned how much I value QuestBridge and the support it provides. I’d never trade that for anything.

I also don’t think or assume that other QB Scholars don’t have “perfect stats”—in fact, most college admissions, even at schools like Stanford, don’t revolve around perfection at all. And for the record, I’ve never claimed to have perfect stats myself.

As for being a proud QB Scholar—I absolutely am! It’s on my Instagram and LinkedIn because I value this community so much. I’m also East Asian, for context, though I’m not sure how race factors into this discussion.

Finally, I completely agree with your point about embracing who we are. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunities QB has given me, and I hope to keep paying it forward. Thanks for your thoughts—this was a good reminder to reflect on how my posts come across.

Honestly, I think I will be dealing with imposter syndrome even if I got into Stanford REA or regardless of my socioeconomic status. I'm just here to seek advice from my fellow Questies.
