COLLEGE ADMISSIONS
College Rep Talent Match Accounts
Ray Ravaglia, Founder of Stanford Online High School: "Colleges are under pressure to look beyond the grades, testing and one dimensional transcripts to seek out stand-out skills. The OESIS e-Portfolio solution offers your school the ability to let College Reps covering your territory have a "Talent Match Account" in order to try and connect with your high schools students, who let them. This offers a much more level playing field beyond SAT/ACT test scores and other potentially inequitable aspects for students to compete with their peers nationally. Schools get to decide who they wish to offer such accounts to, and students get to decide whether they let any of their profiles be visible."

College Reps are always looking to meet with students. Colleges are always looking at the level of interest you show in them. Students can make their ePortfolios visible to selected colleges. College Reps will notice students’ talents and skills on the ePortfolios of students who are interested in them.

Colleges are looking for real evidence of accomplishment and ideally with some validation such as a badge or underlying data in the form of artifacts.
