Zinch: Be more than a test score

This is for those of you out there still in high school, or who have influence at a college that hasn’t heard about Zinch yet. Zinch is a sort of social networking site designed to let you, as a high school student, interact with prospective colleges, where they are on your stage. It is an outcry against standardized tests and GPA scores being the primary measures of acceptance for colleges. Since it doesn’t do much for me, already in college and everything, I haven’t bothered to create a profile and see what all can be done, but I think it’s a great idea which I hope will gain widespread adoption. Even though you’ll probably end up getting in to college through your standard application process for now, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to go ahead, sign up, and see what colleges are genuinely interested in you. I’m really curious what it’s like, so get back to me if you do.
