As competition to gain entry to the top colleges grows fiercer, students are thinking creatively about how to set themselves apart.
They're increasingly turning to social networking sites -- including two geared to college admissions officers -- so they'll receive that all-important spring prize: the college acceptance letter.
The Ventura County Star talked to students using Zinch and Cappex, where "students can tell colleges more about themselves than a typical application allows, even with essays, interviews and recommendations."
Tell us, students or parents. Do you use these sites? Do you post info on Facebook or MySpace to aid your college application process?
