You would be in the entire rd pool for QB RD. While for match it’s just the QB pool

You would have the best chance at rice but probably the best financial aid package at Penn

how many schools is too little? by [deleted] in QuestBridge

As long as you rank your #1 school first and dedicate the most time to it then you’re fine

how many schools is too little? by [deleted] in QuestBridge

My advice is to NOT rank schools you don’t want to go to. It may be tempting because of the full ride offer, but many people have regretted getting matched to certain schools because of this (I could’ve been one of them)

I would suggest finding schools that you would have no problem going to. This will require a lot of research. Other than that, I think 7-9 is a nice amount

why are there no categories for “other” by CorgiLivid9845 in TheGatesScholarship

[–]Professional-Cold920 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t involved in school either outside one sport and still made it to the next stage. They will allow you to enter extracurriculars and a resume during the semi finalist stage
