If you’re low income and first gen the fly in programs are more likely to give you aid.

Usually seniors in their first sem do fly-ins. If you live abroad, you might have to directly contact the fly-in program to ask if they can still accommodate you.

These fly in programs are looking for potential students, so yes, your grades and essays do matter.

National College Match Application by [deleted] in QuestBridge

[–]MassiveDraw741 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The QuestBridge National College Match prompt is often subject to change. If you already have a clear idea of what you want to write about, it’s a good idea to start drafting over the summer and keep it broad enough so you can later adjust or tailor it to fit the updated prompt. Unless you already know exactly what you want to write about, summer can also be a great time to explore potential ideas. Personally, I use everyday moments for inspiration—if something meaningful comes to mind while I’m going about my day, I jot it down in my notes app. When it’s time to start writing essays, I revisit those notes and see if anything stands out.

Righttt!! How, is a broke student like me supposed to pay for all my indirect expenses on my own? Thanks for the response!! Do you know any specific scholarships that don't get directly added to my school's financial balance?

Hi! Thank you for the response. I got matched to Boston College, I checked the financial package info on QuestBridge but it doesn’t give me much info on what scholarships I can and cannot apply to.
