all the exciting parts, none of the heavy debt burden

Blog power outage tomorrow night (Grrr…)

Though it is not Dreamhost’s fault, all my Dreamhost stuff will be getting some downtime tomorrow night starting at 1115 PST and hopefully not lasting for more than 5 hours. Apparently the power outage is caused because of… I’m not even sure why. The Dreamhost blog has it all here. This may also mean my e-mail will be down, which would be… bad. Very.

Anyhow, I think we will all try to cope? Sorry about this.

Who is Sam Jackson?

photo headshot sam jacksonI'm currently a junior 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. I just got back from studying abroad at Peking University this past Fall 2009 in Beijing, China! Click here to read my 'about' page.

Kind words about my blog:

Andrew Careaga calls it “a service to all of us in the higher ed marketing business.”

Christian Long says it has “dramatically inspired college admissions folks to take notice”

Bob Johnson says “I like [it] because I agree with so much of what he says.” and that “Paying attention what Sam writes will let you focus more closely on students who will actually attend your school.”

Karine Joly says my witty and fresh style “offers a rare glimpse at the mind of our elusive prospective students”

and TargetX calls my blog “good reading” and me “wise-beyond-my-years.”
