There is a new way for college and graduate school applicants to express themselves during that ultra stressful time where acceptance (or rejection) letters are delivered. A crop of sites have popped up ranging from lunch-money.com to studentdoctor.net where visitors can commiserate and empathize with one another. Like any other topic discussed online visitors to sites like studentdoctor.net should go in with their eyes completely opened. Many high school guidance counselors and education professionals feel the sites actually reinforce the anxiety around the acceptance period rather than curb it. Last Friday's NY Times does a great job of exploring these new web offerings discussing some of the positive and characteristics.
