admissionsfacts.com, Decision 2008, etc. - legit?

<p>I’m curious about some of the scholarship providers listed on Fastweb. Two that come to mind are Admissions Facts and Decision 2008. What is the true goal of a site like Admissions Facts? To mine for information to sell to marketers or to give scholarships? And the latter – there’s no info on their site to identify them.
We certainly need funds, and we’ve missed deadlines for the well-known scholarships – but I’m wary of having my S give out a lot of personal info to these sites. Thoughts, anyone? Experiences?</p>

<p>i got that feeling from admissions facts, it better be legitimate. i worked pretty hard on that app.</p>

<p>it’s legit…but I wouldn’t apply for it.</p>

<p>Why not? Can you elaborate?</p>

<p>It’s listed on fastweb, which means that it will be very competitive.</p>
