Carnival of College Admission Now Live, and U Sphere Weighs In

We always love taking a look at something called the Carnival of College Admission. We think you will too. This edition is hosted by our sister site, MBA Sphere.

These are crazy crazy financial times -- and it's trickling down to the high schoolers in the audience. If Mom and Dad can't pay for college, well, what's next?

The Carnival has a few ideas on those fronts, as well as advice on how to choose the right school, right grad school, and more.

Take a look!

The latest "blog carnival" and some postings for the college-bound...

The latest edition of the Carnival of College Admission is up and running!

This one is chock full of information for the college-bound kid, parent, family, and all sorts of other people. For instance:

You can hear from Fort Lewis College on their "holistic admissions process"...

Upromise, a site we like (really like...you could use tools like this if you've got little kids and need to keep saving), talks about the college rankings.

FOR STUDENTS -- a scholarship for blogging? $2000? Check it out here.

Great blog -- and a great resource for anyone in the going-to-college process!

Meet "The Carnival of College Admissions"

We've bumped into a resource recently that we think will be of big help to the entire U Sphere community. It's called the "Carnival of College Admissions" and there's a TON of information there.

Here's a link to the Carnival.

You can learn a lot here, including:

How to position yourself if you're trying to get into an Art School;

Another take on going SAT/ACT Optional;

And...Are there college experiences that are designed for kids with autism?

Great resource, and our thanks to our buddy Mark Montgomery, an independent educational consultant in Denver, for getting this rolling!
