19 October 2011

Cincinnati, OH - This month, College Confidential's mobile application exceeded 51,000 downloads since its launch eight months ago. Now at the height of the college admissions season, high school students are searching for real, unsolicited advice on navigating the admissions process. College Confidential and its mobile app provide information that goes far beyond course offerings and enrollment statistics to help students find a school that best meets their needs, increase their chances of getting in, and achieve success beyond admission.

Established to meet the need for free, accessible college search and college admission information on the Web, College Confidential brings together the experiences of students, families and counselors from across the country and around the world to help high school students and their families explore a broad range of admissions topics including financial aid, scholarships, college rankings, test preparation and study abroad. Using the College Confidential mobile app, students can access forums, campus visit reports and insights from blogs like Ask the Dean, Admit This! and School Spotlight from one location. In combination with the Web site's 1.2 billion page views from 58 million annual visits, the mobile app's success further strengthens College Confidential's position as the Web's most popular college discussion community.

Students often find College Confidential through its forums and discussions, and they return to the site once they discover its additional resources including blogs, the SuperMatch® search engine, and the CampusVibe section with videos, photos, and campus visit reports.  To download the app from iTunes or the Droid Market, visit www.collegeconfidential.com/mobile.
