When Sandra and I started this blog I looked around for other blogs to reference as a resource. There did not seem to be any bloggers who wrote about college admissions on a regular basis. We listed College Confidential  in the ‘Blogroll’ to the left, but that’s more of a discussion forum than a regular blog.

I was delighted to come across Brian’s blog Accepted to College. He’s been posting great material on an almost daily basis since mid-January this year. He’s a young guy with experience in the test-prep area and has worked in admissions offices. So why is he writing this blog? Here’s what he says:

The idea for AcceptedToCollege.com started in 2007. A family member asked me a question about college admissions, and I started searching around the web to find an answer. It seemed, though, that every website I found was either a bottomless quagmire of links and backlinks to sites full of advertising and devoid of content, or were pages devoted to selling overpriced and dubiously helpful sessions with “admissions gurus”.

Even worse, it took me hours of wading through advice that I knew would hurt applicants rather than help them before I found the information that I was looking for. I knew that something was wrong and that something had to change.

We absolutely recognize the problem he is addressing. It’s great to see someone taking the time to share useful information in a concise and easy to follow manner. That’s a goal we share at Step into College.

Brian has posted some great information in his blog. In addition, his website has many well-researched articles on Standardized Tests, Choosing a College and more.

We’re looking forward to reading Accepted to College on a regular basis.
