<p>yea, there are some reps/ interns in the admissions office of colleges that frequently read & post in the forums.</p>

<p>yes lote of adcoms read this....
my friend's friend posted her stats here for yale......in her acceptance letter the dean said "we know college confidentionals too".....something like that</p>

<p>Jeez... do you think they're reading this right now? Think I should give away my name and beg them to accept me?</p>

5

<p>actually, they decide whether to reject or accept you purely on what you say here.</p>

<p>no one looks at your actual application.</p>

<p>duh.</p>

<p>that explains a lot...</p>

<p>Well, you never know who reads these boards. There certainly are a number of knowledgable college admissions representatives around though...</p>

<p>Even if they do look at this site, how would they ever know who you are if you don't post your name or anything?</p>

<p>E-mail?</p>

<p>Omniscience? Telepathy?</p>
