College Blogs: Mine and others
It would seem that these days, just about everyone has a blog dedicated to America's higher education system. The Democratic Party has a website representing its college arm; even CosmoGirl has a blog to go alongside their college guide, where I am told I will get the "inside scoop" on "all the best schools!" as determined by, apparently, a miniature poodle. Then again, the internets always give mixed results.
Back to me, though. I made a lot of posts about college and the college process on my personal blog in the past, and I decided while walking down the street last week (no really) that I should separate the two so that each would be more accessible. The target audiences are pretty mixed (one has search engine crawlers, the other one has... search engine crawlers, as primary constituents), but this will allow me to frequently update both without burying too much information in the archives!
I've imported those posts from my own blog which I feel are relevant and worthwhile.
Look for updates here either daily, or every other day. I'll do my best to post very frequently, but remember: I'm in the middle of the college admissions process! Rising seniors have a lot to do.
additionally: if anyone would like to contribute here, and by "anyone" I mean people who I know are excellent writers and are my peers and who know me personally in real life, then please contact me!

I'm currently a rising senior at Yale University and I've been blogging about college admissions and higher education marketing trends since I began my college application process in 2005. I now also write about my experience here at Yale.
