...included Amherst, Bowdoin, and Williams.Rose A. Aldea, a QuestBridge Scholar and freshman at Columbia, said she “probably” would have applied to Harvard if it were part of the program, but she was doubtful she would have attended, as Columbia was her first choice.Joseph L. Barnett, a QuestBridge Scholar at Princeton, came from a rural, underdeveloped area and lived in a two-bedroom apartment while attending a large public school. He would have definitely applied to Harvard had it been on the list, he said.Princeton happens to be one of the schools that offers non-binding...

That view aligns the Court's conservative wing with most current scholarly interpretations, says Barnett, the Georgetown professor. But despite finally affixing its imprimatur on a reading of the convoluted Amendment, the Court's ruling raises nearly as many questions as it settles. As Justice Stevens wrote, it "leaves for future cases the formidable task of defining the scope" of its impact...
