# If I ranked Penn for the QuestBridge National College Match (NCM) but was not matched at any school, will Penn still consider my application?

Yes. If you were named a finalist and ranked Penn as one of your match schools, but were not matched anywhere, Penn will automatically consider you in our Regular Decision process. You do not need to submit any further materials other than a mid-year transcript when it becomes available.

\

If you would like to be considered for Early Decision, which is a binding admissions option, you can request your application be switched to Early Decision through a form that will become available on your Penn Applicant Portal after the match process concludes.
