What Resources Do I Use Most for Our College Search? "The Choice" is One of the Best

Today I'm going to introduce you to The Choice: Demystifying College Admissions and Aid, a New York Times blog whose lead writer is Times Education Writer Jacques Steinberg (pictured at left). He also authored The Gatekeepers: Inside the Admissions Process of a Premier College.

Since its inception in March 2009, dozens of posts have been added from an array of experts, including William R. Fitzsimmons, dean of admissions and financial aid at Harvard College, and Marty O'Connell, executive director of Colleges That Change Lives, as well as first-hand accounts of the college admissions/acceptance/aid process from six young adults who are now college freshmen.

I have spent hours on this blog, reading through posts, comments, Q and As, and more. I find a lot of merit in learning about others' first-hand accounts, which is why I highly value the information available inThe Choice.
