The Choice - Education blog at NYTimes.com

One blog that I now subscribe to is The Choice, on the New York Times web site.  I enjoy it because it gives me an easy way to see what's happening in the world of college admissions from a newspaper point of view.  Jacques Steinberg is the main author, and he is also the author of the book The Gatekeepers (which I now own thanks to a gift from a former parent who was clearing out books she no longer needed!).   He and several other contributors look at  college admissions from many different angles, and the posts are both educational and entertaining.   Recent topics have included reporting a change in how SAT scores can be reported on the Common App, the current scrutiny of for-profit colleges and a situation where more freshmen have accepted spots than are actually available at the University of Iowa.
