Admissions Blog Round-Up: November 16
Posted by Erin Lewis at 9:16 am
Want to know what’s going on in the admissions blogosphere? We’ve rounded up some recent posts for you to enjoy over your Monday morning coffee:
Everyone knows that researching colleges can be one of the most time-consuming parts of the admissions process. Guide and Seek’s latest post spotlights InsideCollege, a site that vets colleges and groups them by a particular attribute to help students pare down (or build up) their own college list. The post gives examples of InsideCollege lists including: honors programs at a public university, loan-free education to low-income students, and colleges known for their school spirit. There are over 700 lists to choose from. The value added is that you may find new reasons to apply to college that you’ve never even considered before! By the way, the site has a list of colleges with no tuition.
CollegeInSight, currently in beta, is another college search site picked up by the College Admissions Partners Blog. This site allows for a search by statistics, so you are responsible for doing the actual research.
Allen’s College Admissions Blog highlights the tough competition facing students transferring into California’s state university system from its community colleges.
This morning’s blog post at The Choice is also about community colleges. This post is about the entire nation’s overburdened community college system as gauged by the Community College Survey of Student Engagement. You can also leave questions and comments for the director of the center for Community College Student Engagement, Kay McClenney, from the site.
