Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

This is an admissions blog including current students, alums, and faculty. The problem with this blog is that all of the different admissions blogs look the same. There is very little variety expect for the large picture at the top of the blog as far as designs go. This means they must all be stuck using a standard template.

Rank: 3 of 5

Cornell University

This is an admissions blog with a few students and alums. Cornell also has several other blogs. The first is a study aboard blog. The second is an engineering admissions blog. The third is the Johnson School blog. It appears that these students are being paid a monthly fee to talk about life and academics. Cornell has also launched a Pilot where it seems they are going to start to go mainstream after working out some technical issues.
