To assess your chances of admission to one of our college partners through the National College Match, consider that in 2021, 6,312 students were selected as Finalists out of over 16,500 applications. Of those Finalists, 1,674 were selected for Match Scholarships, and approximately 2,000 additional Finalists were admitted to a college partner with generous financial aid through QuestBridge Regular Decision. Please remember that admission to our college partners is very competitive, and ultimately it is the colleges that decide which students to admit, whether through the Match or Regular Decision.
