<p>I can not help but do it!
e.g. Jane Doe is a a big party girl. Must be a party school.</p>
<p>Recently, an acquaintance of mine was accepted ED to a school on my list. I cannot help but think OMG she is not smart! I cant go there! When, in reality, I can't judge the school based on this one person.</p>
<p>Do other people do this too? Am I being ridiculous?</p>
<p>I do it too.</p>
<p>Cornell sounds like a fabulous school, but I can’t stand any of the people I know who go there. :/</p>
<p>It’s not ridiculous at all, although you should not judge a school just base off a student who attend there. I judge a school base off a number of reasons, and yes recieve and observe information by the student(s) who attend there.
On this forum you’ll be attack like crazy if someone think your judging a school base off a student(s) ( experience it myself), and it gets ridiculous.</p>
<p>Funny you should start this thread today; just heard of a girl accepted to a school my D is interested in; I’m not telling my D; if she knows that this girl (huge partier, not serious about school) is going, she will cross it off her list…you know she’ll find out though, but I’m not telling!!!</p>
<p>HAHA, YESS!! I do it all the time esp. if I haven’t visited and can’t form my own impressions about the school. That’s when I know I have to do more research.
Sometimes it works and sometimes not…</p>
