If I am only ranking and applying to non-binding schools for the Match, can I also apply to Early Decision or Early Action (ED/EA) to a school outside of QuestBridge?

National College Match applicants who rank colleges cannot apply to other colleges through Early Decision, Early Action, or Single-Choice Early Action (also known as Restrictive Early Action). Even if you rank MIT, which is not binding, you cannot apply early to other colleges.

National College Match applicants who do not rank colleges, or who are not selected as Finalists, are free to apply to any colleges for Early or Regular Decision.

There are exceptions to this policy. Please see the QuestBridge Early Application Policy for further information on exceptions.
