The Zinch profile is the core component of Zinch. It allows students to showcase themselves to colleges in a way that truly depicts who they are and what they're all about. In the profile students input critical information such as academic performance, possible major/career interest(s), extra-curricular involvement, college preferences and desires, and even unique information that sets your students apart from the crowd. The profile is private and password protected, viewable to only admissions officers. » view screenshot
This is the communication hub between students and colleges. For students, it's an inbox to receive messages and recruitment alerts from colleges and then allows students to communicate to colleges their level of interest. This puts the power of college recruiting back into the hands of the students. » view screenshot
A student can use Zinch to "shout out" to a school. Our Shout Out feature gives students the power of proactivity. When a student uses the “Shout Out” it will send a message to the respective school(s) inviting them to check out the student's Zinch profile. Schools are more likely to recruit and interact with students when they know the student is interested. Through the Shout Out, now students can immediately express their interest. » view screenshot
