Do adcoms browse CC fora?

And I'm just guessing "fora" is the plural for "forum." Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, some even post here and are identified as College Reps. Others just lurk. Here's an article from the Yale Daily News in which Admissions Director Jeff Brenzel confirms it: http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/20346

Quote:

While Yale does not maintain its own blog, the admissions office does keep tabs on College Confidential’s forum traffic to observe discussion about Yale, Brenzel said.

"Fora" would definitely be correct in 1st century Rome... today, you hear "fora" but "forums" is more common. Not many Classics majors doing Web 2.0, I guess.

To answer your question, and simply yet eloquently illustrate Roger's point..... yes.
