<p>I'm not very familiar with this site (this is my first post), but I'm the editor of my school newspaper and I've heard some interesting stories about it--both good and bad. So I thought it might make a good story for the paper and I was wondering if any of you guys who use College Confidential a lot (whether it be in discussions, the college counseling services, reading the articles, or anything else) could tell me why you like the site so much and why you find it useful. </p>

<p>Did it (or will it) help you make your final decision about where to apply (or where to go) to college? </p>

<p>What have you learned about the college process through the site? </p>

<p>Do you think that the "what are my chances..." threads are useful? Why or why not? </p>

<p>What types of threads do you find the most useful? Why? </p>

<p>Do you think the college counseling services are helpful? Why or why not? </p>

<p>If you could answer one or more of these questions that would pretty much make my day! Thank so much :)</p>
