Non-Finalists

If you are not selected as a Finalist, we want to emphasize that this is not an indication of your chances of admission to one of our college partners. The QuestBridge Finalist selection process requires consideration of many factors - both academic and financial - and therefore the particular circumstances in which you were not made a Finalist may not have any final bearing on where you will ultimately be admitted. Many exceptional Non-Finalists are still admitted to excellent colleges, including our college partners.

It does, however, signify that there may be limited options for you in continuing to apply through QuestBridge. The main difference is that as a Non-Finalist, you are not able to participate in the Match. Because Non-Finalists cannot be considered for the Match, they are free to apply to any college for early admission.

Applying Regular Decision

For the college partners that will accept the QuestBridge application in lieu of the Common App or Coalition Application, we encourage you to consider applying through QuestBridge Regular Decision. The QuestBridge Regular Decision Form will be available on your Manage page from November 4 through December 9. As a Non-Finalist, you may need to submit application fees or additional requirements to each college.
