Good Luck Making Sense of All This...

The Early Show continues...

Big article in The Wall Street Journal (link here, subscription required) that discusses a number of random things going on with early admissions. Different Early Decision dates, different styles of applying early, different product names.

If your head is spinning, join the crowd.

The article also discusses "FastApps" and "SnapApps" -- common tools that some schools are employing to offer you, the student, a pre-approved offer of admission (sortof) by pre-populating your application with a bunch of your info.

(The article didn't mention a school that is offering free iTunes just for applying. Such an animal is rumored to exist, and I, for one, am anxious to sign up to join the Freshman class. After all, college is all about ignoring the professor while listening to your iPod, right?)
