<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>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>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>
