Summary:
|
Part of the barrier to college access is navigating the elaborate application process with its multiple essays, test scores, and deadlines. For students without substantial school and family support, this is enough to make entering college impossible. Using online games and social media as tools, the editor and his team have developed ways to make applying for college much less intimidating.
