Check out the new look at College Confidential!
Check out the new design on our "info" site: College Admissions, Search, and Financial Aid Help from College Confidential

Be sure to check out some of these features:

Ask The Dean

Ivy Applications: Let the Elite College Admissions Process Begin (New!)

Sample College Essays (New!)

Ivy Babies: Preparing for Academic Excellence (New!)

This design effort is a tangible benefit of our partnership with Hobsons. Creating it was a major team effort involving both designers and developers.

Our thanks to all of the CC members who reviewed and commented on our early sample designs. These opinions were instrumental in the design choices we made. We hope you like the way it turned out!

Rice university Signature page
Why do we have to draw a picture on the signature page. Does it have to be anything specific?
If I have made a mistake in where I posted, please tell me, I have never done this before

Maybe I'm dense, but I'm not finding the College Visits section. Where did it go?

Why am I not suprised that the "new look" was basically designed by committee?...

It is unattractive, and it was necessary because?...

Looks like some nano-technicians redid it.

Ummm...I read through the whole "Ivy Applications" thing, and...well....it was bad. The essays were poorly constructed. They "told" instead of "showed." It's always a terrible idea to disregard specific instructions (e.g. writing a 1000 words when specifically asks you to limit it to 500-600...or giving them six recs, counselor+2 teacher+president guy+dad, when they specifically ask for 3-4). Idk, it was just childish. Also, you can't follow most of that advice if you're doing it all online (cover letter, etc.)

I preferred the former design, but I also understand the purpose & goals of the new design. Hopefully it will just be an interim design.

I agree, it looks kind of like a spam site. Nothing is too "focused" on, unlike before, with the HUGE college discussion button. But, I can see how it is also better in some aspects as well. Hopefully it'll grow on me. Acquired taste for a website perhaps?
