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.
Non-Finalist requirements will be updated in fall 2024.
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 3 through December 10. As a Non-Finalist, you may need to submit application fees or additional requirements to each college.

- Self-reported scores are accepted for students applying through the QuestBridge National College Match. Official SAT or ACT score reports are required prior to enrolling at Boston University. Your official score reports must be sent to BU directly from the College Board or ACT.
- BU superscores both the SAT and ACT. To take advantage of superscoring, BU recommends submitting all your test scores if you take more than one test or take a test multiple times. For both the SAT and ACT, BU will use the highest score of each section, regardless of test date, to best represent you as an applicant. For the ACT, BU will recalculate a new composite score using the highest score from each section, regardless of test date.

- Choose only one of the following to apply: QuestBridge Application with Caltech’s QuestBridge Supplemental Application (only if Caltech was selected in the QuestBridge Regular Decision Form) or Common App with supporting documents.
If you choose to use your QuestBridge application and did not previously submit a Supplement, you must do so. Through the Beaver Breakroom, you can access, complete, and submit a Caltech-QuestBridge Supplement. If you choose to use your QuestBridge application and already completed a Supplement, there is no further action to take.
The Supplement consists of required questions that require 200-250 words max. Fall 2024 applicants will be asked to review Caltech’s guidelines on the ethical use of AI before submitting the required and optional essays listed here. Experiencing writer’s block? Check out Caltech's Essay Writing Advice.
If choosing the Common Application, select “Regular Decision” as the admission round. - Caltech requires two teacher evaluations: one from a Humanities or Social Science teacher AND one from a Math or Science teacher.
Caltech recommends requesting letters from teachers who taught you in your final two years of high school, who know you well, and can speak knowledgeably about your skills and performance in their classroom. Caltech would like your humanities or social science teacher to comment on your writing skills, so be sure to ask a teacher from a class with a significant writing component. Examples of classes that meet Caltech's requirements for teacher evaluations are available here.- If a student applies through the QuestBridge Application, Caltech will consider the teacher evaluations that were sent from QuestBridge, but those must meet Caltech's requirements.
- If a student applies through the Common App, Caltech prefers teacher evaluations to be submitted through this platform. Only if this is not possible, recommenders may email their letters directly to Caltech's office at [email protected]. Emailed letters must include the applicant’s full name and date of birth. Caltech does not accept teacher evaluations submitted by applicants. Recommenders are welcome to check out our writing advice page.

- Official Transcript(s)
- Students must request an official transcript to be sent to Caltech from their high school(s) and any other institution where they have taken courses.
