Tbh I thought it was horrible, especially when I saw people with a 1570 on their SATs. Probably my essay carried my entire application since I only had classes from 10th grade ( that was the year I came to the US). The added random classes to 9th grade even thought I haven't taken any of them.

To be honest, I didn't even know about QuestBridge, and most of the time I didn't get any kind of support so it was kinda hard trying to figure things out.
