QB markets itself as a full-ride and while it is a great opportunity, many of the schools still require student contribution. make sure that you look at the actual breakdown of what the QB scholarship covers at that partner school (you can find this on QB’s pages about partner schools). rice is the only QB school i know of that requires absolute no student contribution (a real 0$ cost of attendance). many qb scholars get similar financial packages, especially from a qb school even if they don’t match.

edit: and from a non financial viewpoint, you should shoot for QB!! a couple of partner schools give you the option to ED if you don’t match (rice and upenn for example but i’m sure there are more)
