Do Adcoms Look at College Confidential?

Applying to College
1

<p>I mean do they look at like an applicant from like New York and search through the forums for a chance thread by that student if enough info is posted in the thread?</p>

<p>That would scary enough for me to never post on CC ever again.</p>

2

<p>While there are some adcoms who post here and probably more who lurk, I think they are generally far too busy to track postings by applicants.</p>

3

<p>The Stanford ones sure do!! haha</p>

4

<p>how do you guys know lol?
thats scary. Maybe ill stay off of CC until i graduate or something.</p>

<p>bluebubbles, please elaborate!!</p>

<p>^there was a whole article about it. someone told a kid on this forum he had no chance at top schools and someone interviewed him and he wound up getting into stanford.</p>

<p>Lol I guessing that kid wasn’t white/asian?</p>

<p>Why is this relevant? Not thinking you’re qualified doesn’t mean you aren’t. He was probably very qualified but didn’t think so. CC tends to do that to you.</p>

<p>Why is this relevant?
Compare the average URM matriculant and the average White/Asian one. I believe some biases(if not straight out racism) will be found at work.</p>
