What is Zinch?
Zinch is a free service that allows high school students to present
themselves to college admission officers - as real people and more
than just as SAT/ACT test score.
Importantly, college admission officers want this information. More
than 800 coleges and universities work with Zinch to identify students
who might be right for their schools. Zinch FAQ's
