Newsfeeds

Today we’ve rolled out the first iteration of two newsfeeds: one for the main page, and another for your “My Tools” page.

The mainpage newsfeed gives a summary of all of the goings-on from the last few minutes. It’ll let you know when someone joins the site, rates someone’s chances,  rates an essay, is accepted at a college, or posts in the forums.

The personal (“My Tools”) newsfeed gives a more thorough summary of what’s been going on with the colleges on your list. When someone updates their status there, makes a new wall post, or predicts someone’s chances of admission at that school, you’ll hear about it.

You can direct any questions, comments, or concerns to the forum post on the same topic.

College discussion and more applicant info displayed

Two changes today:

1) Each college page now has a “discussion” tab. Discussion from news sources, blogs, and our own applicants has been moved there. Soon, but not yet, you’ll be able to make comments directly on the school’s page.

2) The “discussion” tab allowed us to free up a lot of space in the “Applicants & Predictions” page for each college. In its place, we now show you the students’ class rank and home state. More to come on this.
