Littleton, CO – December 3, 2007 – CollegeZapps, LLC (http://www.collegezapps.com) today announced the addition of the University of Wyoming and additional New York colleges and universities to the CollegeZapps Web site.
CollegeZapps uses a proven technology platform to help ease the pain of the college application process. The online questionnaire efficiently collects required information from prospective college students and then auto-fills applications for one or multiple schools. Now, students can complete college applications faster, more accurately and more professionally.
“Rejection rates for hopeful college applicants have jumped tremendously causing heightened anxiety among already nervous high school students. There’
On April 3, 2007, The Wall Street Journal article titled ‘Colleges Reject Record Numbers’ chronicled, “This year's college-admissions competition is turning out to be more brutal than ever -- and not just for students who applied to elite universities. A number of top-tier state schools and smaller liberal arts colleges say they received more applications this year from well-qualified students -- and consequently are turning down a higher percentage of them.”
According to the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) 2007 State of College Admission report, recent trends include:
• A population wave has fueled record numbers of high school graduates and students enrolled in postsecondary education.
• More than 60 percent of high school graduates are enrolling in college within a year of graduating from high school.
• For the second year in a row, approximately three-quarters of four-year colleges and universities reported an increase in the number of applications from the previous year.
• The number of applications that individual students submit also has continued to increase; 18 percent of Fall 2006 freshman submitted seven or more applications for admission.
• Many highly selective colleges reported their lowest ever acceptance rates.
“So often I think how much times have changed and the roadblocks students face just to apply to college. From ease of use to highly personalized applications, our proven, powerful technology helps students apply to college. The students are our highest priority,” continued Kenney.
Helping students apply to college is what CollegeZapps is all about. CollegeZapps is powered by Efficient Forms, LLC who specializes in business form and data collection automation software. This is a proven technology platform that directs an online interview to efficiently collect required information from prospective college applicants. The information is then used to expedite completion of all the college applications the students wish to submit.
“I work with high school students every day in their college application process. It is a painful and tedious one. A few years ago students would want to apply to two or three colleges. Now, they want to apply to eight or 10. While the applications are available for download from the Internet, students have to print them then fill them in by hand or by typewriter. This process is time consuming and leads to many errors. With CollegeZapps, completing college applications is so easy. Students can now spend more time choosing what colleges best fit them, applying to more colleges in less time, and reducing the redundancy that comes with filling out multiple application forms,” said Joe Eberle, independent education consultant and publisher of The College Gazette.
CollegeZapps is compiling a collection of the applications of the most applied to universities and colleges in the United States. Additional colleges and universities will be added weekly to the site. Fees for the CollegeZapps service are $14.95 for one application;
