College Admissions for Fit and Value -- Not Rankings

From Ascribe Newsfeed:

The search for a college should not be a high stakes race to the finish line, but a thoughtful and enjoyable process.

This is the message that Colleges That Change Lives (CTCL) will bring to 20 cities during the continuation of the eleventh annual series of national tours.

The colleges and universities on the tour are featured in the book of the same name, Colleges That Change Lives by former NY Times education editor and author, Loren Pope.

"Too often the focus of the college search is on ranking and ratings, which does not acknowledge the individual student profile and how they will 'fit' with the mission and identity of a campus community," says Marty O'Connell, Executive Director of Colleges That Change Lives.

"The current record high numbers of applicants, coupled with narrowly focused media stories about college admissions, have led students to believe that their college choices are severely limited or unaffordable.

Each program starts with a 30 minute presentation followed by a college fair, featuring admission representatives from the colleges and universities included in Pope's book.

We provide direct, immediate access to mainstream national media for 600 colleges, universities, medical centers, public-policy groups and other leading nonprofit organizations.

AScribe transmits news releases directly to newsroom computer systems and desktops of major media organizations via a supremely trusted channel - The Associated Press.

We also feed news to major news retrieval database services, online publications and to developers of web sites and Intranets.
