A focused news briefing tracking policy shifts, deadlines, testing rules, enrollment figures, and other changes in college admissions.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The homepage uses a morning-edition workflow: a timestamped briefing leads into desk-specific coverage, while each item carries a section label, date, reading time, and sometimes a verification percentage. It reports 13 monitored Ivy+ institutions and 37 monitored Top 50 institutions, alongside state and national updates. The visible navigation includes latest, most-read, search, and Follow Schools features, although the extract does not show how school following or verification works.
