Web Savvy Can Improve College Chances
from the telling-the-whole-story dept
Want to improve your chances of getting into college? Build a website. College admissions officials have admitted that a well-crafted student website can help someone get into college. Basically, it sounds like admissions offices aren't sticking to the script of just what's on the application any more, so any additional info you can tell them is likely to help you. And, creating a website with more info is still unique enough that it can help tell your story. Of course, once everyone has their college website up, it's less likely to be a useful tool.
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.
–The Techdirt Team

As you imply, once this is picked up and everyone does it, it will no longer be a differentiating feature.
