Can you promote in r/applyingtocollege?

r/ApplyingToCollege is the premier forum for college admissions questions, advice, and discussions, from college essays and scholarships to college list help and application advice, career guidance, and more. A2C supports a welcoming and inclusive environment. Harassment, intimidation, and bullying are not tolerated.

The short answer

Do not promote a product or solicit customers; participate only as a helpful community member without mentioning or linking your product/company and seek moderator approval if you represent an institution or media.

What works here

  • Admissions-related questions and advice
  • Noncommercial participation (general help, answers)

What gets posts removed

  • Promotional posts, demos, or service offers
  • Posting surveys, solicitations, YouTube/chat links, or recruiting customers
  • Posting media/official content without prior approval
