Carnivals, Old and New

cotton candy machineThe latest edition of the Carnival of Education is up today at the Elementary Educator, and it’s full of interesting posts, as usual.
In addition, the third edition of a new carnival, the Carnival of College Admission is up. I’m happy to see this Carnival get going–so happy, that I’ll be hosting it next week.
This week’s Carnival of College Admission has articles on extracurricular activities, writing the personal statement, and notes on a couple of plays written by students about the thrills and chills of the whole admissions process.
So have a look around and consider adding your own post to the Carnival. You can submit your entry by using the handy-dandy form.

ACT vs. SAT

Clients ask all the time whether they should take the ACT or the SAT tests to prepare for college. Here is what my colleague, Nancy Nitardy, has to say about these tests.
Nancy Nitardy is the author of Get Paid to Play, THE book for student athletes as they navigate the athletic recruiting process.

Nancy and I work together with student athletes to ensure that they get the best of both worlds: the athletic experience they desire, as well as the academic preparation they require. For more information about Nancy, click here.
