Hey y'all, I'm a junior and I've come across Questbridge during my college search. I'm not sure if it's meant for my grade level. Can I apply for Questbridge as a junior, or do I have to wait until senior year? If I can apply as a junior, what benefits will that offer me?
Hi there! Questbridge is definitely something you should look into. They have a program specifically designed for high school juniors called the Questbridge College Prep Scholars Program. You can apply during your junior year, and if you're selected to participate, you'll gain access to a range of benefits aimed at preparing you for the college application process.
Some of the benefits include:
- A full scholarship to attend a summer program at a college partner (like Yale, Stanford, Emory, and others).
- Personalized college essay feedback.
- An invitation to the Questbridge National College Admissions Conference, giving you a chance to connect with college representatives and learn more about the application process.
- Specialized guidance and resources, including application tips and advice.
- Opportunities for peer support from current high school seniors who have gone through the Questbridge process.
Participating in the College Prep Scholars Program can give you a head start on your college journey and strengthen your application for the Questbridge National College Match Program, which you would apply for during your senior year. The National College Match is a highly competitive program offering full four-year scholarships to Questbridge's partner colleges.
By applying for and participating in the Questbridge College Prep Scholars Program as a junior, you put yourself in a better position for the competitive National College Match during your senior year. Good luck!
