Dear CC “Family” – I’ve been lurking on here for years, learning everything I could about the college admission process for my kids’ college application process. I know everyone here has felt the stress of this process and been frustrated by its lack of transparency. I came here from time to time for information or, at least, commiseration, and I certainly received it. The competitiveness of this process makes it a lonely one for parents and applicants, and this site offers us community. I will be forever grateful. THANK YOU, College Confidential.
