Requirements
Stanford University Application Status Portal Activation
QuestBridge will send Finalists’ applications to college partners on October 16, and Stanford University may need a couple of days to import them into their system. Once processed, Stanford University will then email you instructions to log in and activate your applicant portal, where you can track the status of the materials you submit.
After your QuestBridge Application has been received, Stanford will email you instructions on how to access your Stanford portal and complete the required supplement.
For the 2024-25 application period, Stanford will review applications with or without test scores, leaving the decision in the hands of the applicant.
If you would like to submit ACT or SAT test scores, please self-report them in the application. If you are admitted and choose to enroll, and you self-reported ACT or SAT scores, official score reports will be required.
