More follow up to TechCrunch blogging about U Sphere (and college admissions)

Greetings from U Sphere.

Of course it's been a busy couple of days -- aren't they all? -- and we're delighted to have heard from so many of you after the TechCrunch posting yesterday.

I have posted a response -- it's comment #29, and you can see all of them at this link.

A couple other notes for you:

The Texas Common Application -- another cool tool and we didn't put up the link on the TechCrunch posting. Sorry.

UCAS is for those heading to a British University. If you want to learn more about British schools, check out the British Council.

Finally, about the Common Application -- and I mean no disrespect, it's a not-for-profit, and its Executive Director, Rob Killion, is very classy AND he responds to his own emails. They are not accepting any more applications on their platform for Fall 2007 admission; they'll be back with their application later in the summer. They process more than 1 million applications, so they're certainly a well-used tool.

We of course encourage students to use the "CommonApp" if a school uses it or asks for it. If they don't...well, that's where we hope to be helpful.
