The Field of 64
Zinchers…Tomorrow the tournament begins. 44 of you know that you are in. 17 of you will be chosen by the selection committee. The last 3 will come from the Cinderella 3. As I blog, the pizzas are in the offices, the white boards are being filled, and final decisions are trying to be made. This might be a long night:). The committee is working hard on picking the right people and the right match ups. Rules are simple. 1pm MST voting opens again. 1 vote per IP address. 1 vote per login. 1 week per round. You are matched up with one person in each round, winner moves on. Votes start over with each new match up.
Congrats to the 44 who already qualified. We are all impressed with what you’ve done and how you’ve done it. The rest of you are making it real hard to pick 17. You are all amazing students, have amazing profiles, and have impressed us in your creative campaigning efforts. For those that don’t make the field of 64, we hope you can support those who did. Rally around those you believe should win. Be sure to check the March Madnezz Final Brackets section tomorrow to see if you made the 64. For those that made it, look for an email from us around 1pm MST, as we want to communicate and help you all on the road to the Final 4!
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Zinch turns 1 year old tomorrow, March 12th! Look for more tomorrow…tomorrow’s a big day! Good Luck everyone!

You guys have made a lot of progress over the past year. I remember the days before "the word" and "the flavor." Also, if I'm remembering correctly, the zinch report and the info pages about colleges haven't always been around.
When my friends asked me how I found out about Zinch, I couldn't tell them. I really don't remember how. Maybe it was JoJo on facebook... ha. However I found out, I'm glad I did.

Happy Birthday Zinch!
I just wanted to tell you how helpful Zinch has been for me. I have used it as my personal, academic database. It was great to have a place to keep my academics and extra curricular activities - it made it a lot easier to remember for those college apps! It was helpful for my college interviews - I listed my URL on my academic resume I turned in with scholarship applications and on the business cards I handed out to admissions people. It was great to sit in an interview and tell people about Zinch and call up my site because then the interviewers could ask questions and view my protfolio. It is great to be able to talk with other students to share questions and stories about the application process. It is great to feel LOVED by colleges! Using Zinch has made my college search process more organized and I can't thank you enough. ZINCH ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
