A few weeks ago, we recognized four higher education blogs that should be on your radar (read Volume 1). We found so many great sites that we had to create a second list.

1. Admitted

Admitted is written by the National Association for College Admission Counseling. Whether you’re a student or family navigating the admission process or an admissions professional looking for news and trends, you can find helpful info on the Admitted blog.

Blog posts cover noteworthy research and programs, innovative admissions practices and more.
