QuestBridge finalists, what now?

December 3, 2015

Jesse Hernandez

As part of Oberlin's commitment to access and diversity, we have been a proud partner with QuestBridge for a number of years. Through QuestBridge (an organization that provides under-served youth with opportunities to connect with leading institutions of higher education) Oberlin has been fortunate enough to have matriculated a number of great students throughout the years, both through the QuestBridge match process and through QuestBridge students who used their QuestBridge application to apply to Oberlin through Regular Decision.

With the match process recently completed, many QuestBridge finalists who were not matched may be wondering what comes next? We'd like to help provide some guidance for those students through a live stream that will take place right here on this blog page on Wednesday, December 9 at 6pm EST. Please join us here at that time to learn more about how you can move forward with learning about and applying to Oberlin, and to have your questions answered by both Admissions staff and a current Oberlin student who participated in QuestBridge.

We'll happily field questions that are posted to this blog in the comments section, so please, ask away!

Our panel was streamed on December 9th. Thanks to Ashley, a current Quest scholar, for joining in!
