<p>Mostly a blessing since I learned a lot about college admissions here. My family isn’t originally from the states so this is particularly helpful.</p>
<p>It’s a curse. Some may argue that it gave them valuable information, but I don’t seem to recall anything I learned. I already knew I needed clubs, test scores, and grades. So like, what.</p>
<p>Blessing.</p>
<p>I finally met people who actually strive to the same degree as I do.</p>
<p>Thank you <3</p>
<p>Both!
Blessing because its really helpful to look at actual results and chances threads. You meet people who are like you!.. kinda. You get a lot of insight.
Curse because you read posts that could possibly be trolls or possibly not and it sets your expectations really high for yourself. It’s hard not meeting that expectations when one, people here are crazy and brilliant and meet those expectations and two, when you think its the end of the world!
CC makes college admissions the most important thing in life. That’s all we talk about!</p>

<p>As long as you can ignore all the crazies and stay rooted in reality, it’s pretty helpful and allows people to find some really fantastic lesser known gems of colleges.</p>
