On This Day: March 24

To make a long story short, in 1989, the Exxon Valdez ship ran aground in Alaska, creating a monstrous oil spill that damaged wildlife for years to come. What do you think is the responsibility of corporations to the environment?

Even Unemployed Folks Go to School!

So that means you'll have a lot of competition for college admissions - so be prepared by knowing what your grades and test scores should be.

Is a rejection really the end? A new article says no.

It's almost time for my Spring Break, and I can't wait! But - I haven't been neglecting my duties as The Ivy League Tutor, no.

I've been thinking about how it seems like Spring might really be here, even if I don't see much evidence. There's threats of snow all the time! Maybe I shouldn't call them threats. "Promises?"

I've been also thinking that this is the time that high school students find out their college futures.
I ran across an article from U.S. News & World Report explains how a rejection letter might not be the final word. My suggestion, though, is to not be too eager or annoying about appealing a rejection from a college, because annoyed admissions officers could take a "well, since you asked, the answer is no" kind of attitude, and you've made a bad name for yourself. The article doesn't really go in depth into how to appeal a rejection, so I suggest proceeding with a LOT of caution.
