<p>I've really enjoyed the list of Perpetual CC Threads. it seems that the same comments also pop up over and over:</p>
<p>"Sounds like your DS may be depressed."
"That is too much debt. Have you considered starting at a community college?"
"your accomplishment is nice, but basically meaningless in admissions to a tippy top school."</p>
<p>Any others?</p>
<p>“Fill in the Blank College is a hidden gem.”</p>
<p>“Public universities are great–unless you’re my [ultra-brilliant] kid.”</p>
<p>“Has your child been tested for learning disabilities?”
“My child is at X party school, but has never been pressured to drink, (or doesn’t have a problem as a non-drinker)”</p>
<p>“You should visit schools before applying” followed by “you should wait until you get in before visiting schools”</p>
<p>“Sounds like Asberger’s”</p>
<p>The sounds of entitlement…</p>
<p>“I worked too hard to go to a state school” (taste of bile in mouth assumed)
“But I don’t want to go to XXXXX”
“But I really wanna go to XXXXX”</p>
<p>And my personal favorite…</p>
<p>“It’s my dream school”</p>
<p>You should try the ACTs</p>
<p>XXX school is a good fit.</p>
<p>Will my conservative/liberal kid be happy at a northern/southern school?</p>
<p>You’re chances look great! ;)</p>
<p>I have taken 15 APs…mostly self studied
and
have a 2380…
should I retake my SATS…</p>
<p>“The Ivies are a reach for everyone”.</p>
<p>There are thousands of good colleges in between Ivy-level and no-name State U. It’s not an either-or situation.</p>
<p>“Chance me, I’ll chance back!”</p>
<p>Check the account to find a 16yo hs sophomore…</p>
<p>(btw, my first thought was “sounds like aspergers”)</p>
<p>What’s your EFC?</p>
