See the following NYT’s excerpt:<\/p>\n

“Arianna Trickey was opening a piece of mail in her bedroom during junior year of high school when a pamphlet fell out of the envelope. The pamphlet seemed to offer the impossible: the prospect of a full scholarship to several of her dream colleges.<\/p>\n

She went running out to her father, a house painter, who was sitting on the family\u2019s porch in Grass Valley, a California city in the Sierra Nevada foothills. \u201cYou have to see this,\u201d she told him. \u201cThis is the scholarship that will get me to the best schools in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pamphlet was from a nonprofit organization called\u00a0QuestBridge<\/a>, which has quietly become one of the biggest players in elite-college admissions. Almost 300 undergraduates at Stanford this year, or 4 percent of the student body, came through QuestBridge. The share at Amherst is 11 percent, and it\u2019s 9 percent at Pomona. At Yale, the admissions office has changed its application to make it more like QuestBridge\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Founded by a married couple in Northern California \u2014 she an entrepreneur, he a doctor-turned-medical-investor \u2014 QuestBridge has figured out how to convince thousands of high-achieving, low-income students that they really can attend a top college. \u201cIt\u2019s like a national admissions office,\u201d said Catharine Bond Hill, the president of\u00a0Vassar<\/a>.”<\/p>\n
