<p>I feel like being on this site gives me an edge. I would NEVER tell my friends about this site, haha because I feel like it gives me an advantage. </p>
<p>Anyone else feel like this?</p>
<p>I believe that CC definitely has some great resources here but I don’t think I know anyone that would take advantage of them.</p>
<p>In general, I’m very private about the books I read, music I listen to, and websites I use. I’m not really sure why, but it bothers me to reveal that information. </p>
<p>Sometimes I tell people I look at “college admissions websites,” but I don’t usually mention CC by name. Mostly because I think “College Confidential” is a silly name. (So is my username, but still.) :D</p>
<p>I told my cousins about this site and they just laughed and said I was really nerdy for going on here all the time instead of Facebook.</p>
<p>I’ve told my friends and they don’t seem to have any desire to go on here. </p>
<p>The site has given me useful information but I don’t feel like I have to keep it a secret :).</p>
<p>I’ve told my friends as it really doesn’t matter because a hundreds if not thousands in my grade go on CC.</p>
<p>Off-topic, but I find it amusing that “College Confidential” has the same acronym as “community college.” Because people on here tend to be afraid of them.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This.</p>
<p>If I told anyone else about CC, then I would do worse than my friends in school. CC is like free SAT/SAT II/ACT/AP/College Application prep class.</p>
<p>Yeah I’m really not worried about the “edge” this site gives. If someone wanted to know somewhere to find college info I’d tell them to come here. But I don’t tell people more because its kinda embarrassing to be on here haha</p>
<p>My friends know about this site.</p>
<p>I once talked about CC to some of my friends who were seniors at the time and they all despise this place (I can sort of see why). “The chancing forum reeks of desperation and pretentious braggarts at the same time.”</p>

<p>My friends don’t seem like the type to care about College Confidential. They want to go to college, but I don’t think they would spend time on here looking at all the different forums. This is the reason I don’t really tell them because they’re not those kind of people.</p>
<p>Shhh its a secret. My friends all have 4.0s and I don’t but using the secrets of CC i will laugh as they are rejected by Ivies while I cruise on in.</p>
<p>Thats probably not going to happen but I don’t tell anyone</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Isn’t that true of most aspects of teenage life? :D</p>
<p>i told some people about CC but they were kids from other forums, not kids from school, not my competition, but that was after i’d graduated hs anyway. yeah i told anyone who i talked to who was curious about standardized tests or applying to prestigious colleges that might like it here about this place (i advertised HSL specifically once or twice, too). i think only one person i ever informed signed up and it was to comment on my own thread :S</p>
