Littleton, CO - December 3, 2007 - CollegeZapps, LLC (http://www.collegezapps.com)
today announced the addition of the University of Wyoming and additional New York
colleges and universities to the CollegeZapps Web site.

CollegeZapps uses a proven technology platform to help ease the pain of the college
application process. The online questionnaire efficiently collects required
information from prospective college students and then auto-fills applications for
one or multiple schools. Now, students can complete college applications faster,
more accurately and more professionally.

"Rejection rates for hopeful college applicants have jumped tremendously causing
heightened anxiety among already nervous high school students. There's a sense of
shock among parents at seeing extraordinarily talented kids being declined by
colleges and universities. Recent press articles and other media have begun to
define the college application crisis," said David Kenney, CEO, CollegeZapps. "High
school seniors across the country are staying up until the wee hours of the morning
to fill out applications and write essays for numerous colleges and universities and
simultaneously struggling to maintain their grades - CollegeZapps can help these
students."

On April 3, 2007, The Wall Street Journal article titled 'Colleges Reject Record
Numbers' chronicled, "This year\'s college-admissions competition is turning out to
be more brutal than ever -- and not just for students who applied to elite
universities. A number of top-tier state schools and smaller liberal arts colleges
say they received more applications this year from well-qualified students -- and
consequently are turning down a higher percentage of them."

According to the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) 2007
State of College Admission report, recent trends include:

. A population wave has fueled record numbers of high school graduates and students
enrolled in postsecondary education.
. More than 60 percent of high school graduates are enrolling in college within a
year of graduating from high school.
. For the second year in a row, approximately three-quarters of four-year colleges
and universities reported an increase in the number of applications from the
previous year.
. The number of applications that individual students submit also has continued to
increase; 18 percent of Fall 2006 freshman submitted seven or more applications for
admission.
. Many highly selective colleges reported their lowest ever acceptance rates.

"So often I think how much times have changed and the roadblocks students face just
to apply to college. From ease of use to highly personalized applications, our
proven, powerful technology helps students apply to college. The students are our
highest priority," continued Kenney.

Helping students apply to college is what CollegeZapps is all about. CollegeZapps
is powered by Efficient Forms, LLC who specializes in business form and data
collection automation software. This is a proven technology platform that directs
an online interview to efficiently collect required information from prospective
college applicants. The information is then used to expedite completion of all the
college applications the students wish to submit.

"I work with high school students every day in their college application process.
It is a painful and tedious one. A few years ago students would want to apply to two
or three colleges. Now, they want to apply to eight or 10. While the applications
are available for download from the Internet, students have to print them then fill
them in by hand or by typewriter. This process is time consuming and leads to many
errors. With CollegeZapps, completing college applications is so easy. Students
can now spend more time choosing what colleges best fit them, applying to more
colleges in less time, and reducing the redundancy that comes with filling out
multiple application forms," said Joe Eberle, independent education consultant and
publisher of The College Gazette.

CollegeZapps is compiling a collection of the applications of the most applied to
universities and colleges in the United States. Additional colleges and
universities will be added weekly to the site. Fees for the CollegeZapps service
are $14.95 for one application; $29.95 for three applications; $49.95 for 10
applications; and $69.95 for 15 applications.
