If you are a Finalist who did not match, this means the schools you ranked were not able to offer you early admission and a Match Scholarship. Finalists who are not matched have not been rejected from any of the colleges they ranked, and are strongly encouraged to include the ranked schools on their Regular Decision Form. Many students who do not match are accepted to our college partners with generous financial aid through QuestBridge Regular Decision or other admission rounds. Some college partners will consider students who ranked them but did not match for Early Decision or Early Action.
You can review potential early admission opportunities and next steps from the schools you ranked on the Options Following the Match page. If the school will consider your application in an early review cycle, instructions on how to apply will also be included.
You can also still apply to the schools you ranked and additional college partners through QuestBridge Regular Decision. To do so, select which QuestBridge college partners you intend to apply to with the Regular Decision Form, available from the Manage page in your application. In addition, you will need to take additional steps to have our college partners consider your Regular Decision application. Please see the Regular Decision Requirements for specific details. After completion, the colleges will consider you for admission and financial aid.
Since our schools are highly selective, you should also continue with the regular admissions process for colleges other than QuestBridge college partners. It is important to ensure you apply to a mix of reach, target, and likely schools.
