The college admissions process has turned into a nightmare, for both parent and child.
A recent New York Times article demonstrates the anxiety and stress that the college admissions process causes. It states:
“…there is inherent drama in the story of admissions. The narrative arc can stretch for months like a good soap opera in some cases, from the time in early fall when students decide where to apply, through SAT's, Medical School Admissions Test, transcripts lost and found, class rank ascending and descending — to the nail-biting, double tick-tock countdowns of application deadlines and the notification period, which is in the spring…Some writers make entirely unveiled cries for help, like this message posted on collegeconfidential: ‘I totally feel like I am a failure and I have failed my parents as a son ... to be honest, I feel like committing suicide.’ He wrote that he had applied to 13 colleges and, as of early this week, had been rejected by 4 of them. ‘What crime did I do to deserve this?’ he wrote.”
Zinch gives students more control in this process and takes away from the last minute stresses in college admissions. By using Zinch, your student will start being recruited early in his high school years, getting a head start on knowing where he wants to attend. Zinch does not replace the need to apply to college, but it does put your student on the radar early. It lets colleges know who your student is before you even get to the application process. This equals more “yes letters” and less rejections. |
