Social Networking is Changing the Face of College Recruiting

Web sites like Admish.com, Cappex.com, EdSoup.com and Zinch.com, among many others, allow students to profile themselves beyond "the test score". On the flip side, college admission recruiters are using these sites to profile and market their schools, while simultaneously searching out prospective students.
