Questions about applying through QuestBridge?

Yes. You may choose to submit the Common Application or the Coalition on Scoir Application instead of using the QB application. However, you do not need to submit another application in addition to or in place of your QB app to apply to Bowdoin. If you choose to use your QB application, you will need to complete the Bowdoin supplement form which will appear on the checklist in your Bowdoin Application Portal.

If you would like to apply through Early Decision (ED), please email your intention to apply ED 1 or ED2, together with your QB ID number, to questbridge@bowdoin.edu. You will need to complete the Bowdoin Supplement and the ED agreement, which will be available in your Application Portal.  

If you would like to apply through Regular Decision, please inform QuestBridge and they will send us your application in December. You will need to complete the Bowdoin supplement, which will be on your checklist in your Application Portal.

Indicate your intention to apply Regular Decision to Bowdoin to QB using the QB Regular Decision Form, and QB will forward us your application in December. If you are applying ED1 or ED2, email us your QB ID number and intended round prior to the deadline for that intended round (Nov. 15 for ED1 or Jan. 5 for ED2). You will need to complete the Bowdoin Supplement and the ED agreement, which you can find in your Application Portal as well as have your school counselor send your most recent transcript.

You will not need to re-submit anything, but please do complete the Bowdoin Supplement found in your Application Portal and have a school official send us a transcript with your midyear grades when it becomes available.

Please send any updated information to questbridge@bowdoin.edu, and we will add it to your file. Please also have your school counselor send us your most recent transcript.

Please contact QuestBridge directly to let them know of your desire to withdraw from the Match Process.

We will accept the transcript that comes with your QuestBridge application. Please also ask your school counselor send your most recent transcript.
