Using Blogs To Learn About Schools

As we’ve written in our essay tips for schools like Wharton and Stanford, when a school asks “why Wharton” or “why Stanford“, you need to address specifics like courses, professors, special academic programs, clubs, and activities. One way to learn such specifics is through school blogs. Beyond just the admissions committees’ blogs, many schools such as Stanford have links to blogs from students, faculty, clubs, centers & offices, and alumni.
