CC Mentioned on USNews.com...

<p>Sally Rubenstone and CC were mentioned in this US News College article by Alex Kingsbury. And the article is an interesting one too, about how some adcoms may start Googling more often. Excerpt...</p>

<p>"In fact, Google is more likely to help you than hurt you. Ideally, you should clearly explain the significance of your awards and the nature of your clubs and activities in the application. But if you don't, an inquiring officer might turn to the Web to learn more. Sally Rubenstone, who spent 16 years as a part-time admissions officer at Smith College and now runs the website collegeconfidential.com, says Internet search engines are often invaluable.</p>

<p>"Typing an award or a club into a search engine could provide me with lots of information that was not included in the application packet," she says."</p>

<p>yay for cc!</p>

<p>when cc becomes reallly known, we are gonna get bombarded with newbies, asking the same things over and over and over again hahaah</p>

<p>until then, its our dirty little secret ;)</p>

<p>What do you mean? There's already a bombardment of newbies asking the same questions...over and over :rolleyes:</p>

<p>It'd be cool if there was someway to keep the answers up... like all the "I'm in AP Bio--what is the best review book?" questions. Instead of having a new AP prep book thread every couple months, there should be somewhere to just have everyone's favorite books all lined up.</p>

<p>^or why don't those lazy people just do a search? OMG no one would ever dream of such a thing! :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Why don't they make an important FAQ thread and each question has a link to a CC search. That way it's always at the top. Of course only moderators and cool people like me can add to the list. It could eliminate a lot of the pointless threads, saving space for other pointless threads :p</p>

<p>celebrian i know!! newbies never search!!
in the intel forum, i must've come across newbies asking this question, like 1000000000000000000000000 times: 'what schools are needblind to intels?'</p>

<p>Use the search tool newbies. please.</p>

<p>good idea gun!</p>

<p>my favorite (or least fav.) "whats a URM?"</p>

<p>Noooo they can't ask in the thread in which they found the term, they have to post a new thread. I guess so people notice them.</p>

<p>wow but Adcoms would have time for that? </p>

<p>thats like so much effort to look up people on google.</p>

<p>There's also a movie called College Confidential</p>

<p>I never actually saw it or heard anyone talking about it, but I saw it mentioned a couple times in Google</p>

<p>Yeah I've heard about it too. I think it's based on me.</p>

<p><a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0053727/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://imdb.com/title/tt0053727/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>i love imdb!</p>

<p>It must have been a pretty bad movie...it didn't get very good ratings! :p</p>

<p>What does imdb stand for? International movie database?</p>
