Should the College Admission Process be a Zinch?

Posted on July 9, 2007 by Jennifer Brady

Here's a new, free, and very interesting online product you may want to examine. It's called Zinch. It features a simple but revolutionary premise: while would-be college students can continue to apply to the best schools as they always have, maybe it is time for the best schools to go out and find the best or most appropriate students. I short, if you think colleges ought to be recruiting you, take a look at Zinch.

According to Mick Hagen, Princeton University, '09 and who happens to be the President/Founder of Zinch, here's why he started the organization: …I founded Zinch: to level the playing field and to provide a means by which individuality and greatness can be extracted from everyone during the college admissions process. Every student will now have an equal opportunity to basically say, “This is me. Love me, hate me, recruit me, or trash me. This is who I am.”
