FACT: In 2010, QuestBridge's partner colleges offered admission and more than $100 million in financial aid to over 1,000 students who applied to the National College Match.
The
entire QuestBridge College Match process lasted five months. I’ll never forget
the day the QB application was due; the QB website was bogged down by many procrastinators.
My daughter, Rachel, kept on receiving a failed message every time she tried to
submit her online application. I was literally having a nervous breakdown!
After repeatedly trying to “send” for three hours, it finally went through…Hallelujah!!!
Later, we found out that many applicants experienced the same problem and the application
deadline was extended one more day.
