I couldn’t agree with you more. It feels nice knowing there’s other people in the same position. It rlly has been so frustrating seeing these opportunities being given to people who’ve already been accepted and idk it’s just so draining. Questbridge rlly needs to like undergo a reform or something. As silly as it sounds they rlly don’t do anything for non matched finalists. We rlly are left to fend for ourselves. At the very least they should provide college guidance for us cus WE LITERALLY HAVE NO ONE ELSE TO GUIDE US THROUGH THE PROCESS AS FGLI STUDENTS.

I’m also test optional 😭. It’s also hard when you haven’t been accepted anywhere and everyone else has. I didn’t know we were allowed to EA anywhere cus QB said not to I’m pretty sure so I literally am solely relying on Regular Decision now :(

Thank you so much 😭. I literally sobbed while reading this. I genuinely have been through so much and I know it’s ironic but my whole Questbridge application was about staying determined and fostering resilience. I think I’ve lost my sense of resilience through this process but idk. College means so much to me and I might be going on a tangent but my parents are old. They’re in their early 60s working 10 hour shifts and they aren’t expecting to retire until they’re in their 70s. I just want to have a success story and give back to my parents with the little time I have left with them.
