Hello everyone! Tonight I've decided to post about a wonderful website that I seem to have become quite popular on: zinch.com. I describe this website to my friends as being like facebook, but with easy access to college reps. and scholarships.
Since I started Zinch about a year ago, I've been contacted by hundreds of schools that I didn't even know existed. I've found scholarships tailored specifically to my needs (meaning they can be applied to by a student my age and match my academic and extra-curricular interests). I've gotten tons of letters in the mail from schools saying that they're interested in me and will be recruiting me when I'm a little older (I'll be 16 in August).
Overall, Zinch is an incredible new resource for students who are serious about going to college. I highly recommend it.
Now, since I'm assuming about half of the viewers of this page saw a link for it on my zinch profile, I will address a topic that might be of interest to a zincher like myself.
I have a ridiculous amount of swagger points. A lot of kids have contacted me via the site asking just how the heck I got so many. Well, I'll tell you now. I feel comfortable doing this because the thing I did to get so much swagger can no longer be done. You see, in the "Scholarships" section of the site under "Get More Money", Zinch gives you the option to send e-mails to your friends inviting them to join the site. For each e-mail you send, you get 4 points. About 2 months ago, you could send thousands of e-mails at a time. Nowadays, you can send only 20 max. One night I typed up a word document containing about 5000 email addresses. I copied and pasted this list repeatedly into the "To:" box of the page. Every time I hit send, I got 20,000 points. I went from about 2,500 points to 2,000,000 points in one night. Over the course of the next month, I increased that amount to about 12,000,000. I felt awesome for exploiting such a seemingly obvious design flaw. Then, the Zinch developers limited the number of e-mails that could be sent at a time. I was done acquiring lump sums of swagger.
Thanks for reading; hope you found this informative.
