Students Nervous About Online Applications
from the oops dept
Apparently students are nervous about using online college applications. They're afraid to pass personal info, and they're not sure who will look at it, and what will be done with it. Also, it seems some are afraid if it will really get to the college at all. I don't see how this is all that different than a snail-mail application, but I guess people are always a little more afraid of the "new" process.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
