<p>“I’m ticked at people who are richer/poorer than me.”</p>

22

<p>We had a stickied thread with the common thread redux topics and links. Where’d it go?</p>

23

<p>Oh I forgot two of my favorites.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I’m not the strongest candidate for HYPSM…if I apply ED will it increase my chances for admission.</p></li>
<li><p>Will my fabulous ECs (or community service) compensate for less than stellar GPA and SAT/ACT scores?</p></li>
</ol>

24

<p>Oh yes…</p>

<p>Schools That Value Test Scores Above GPA?</p>

<p>High SAT/Low GPA, Help</p>

<p>Low SAT/High GPA, Help</p>

<p>CHANCE ME FOR HYPSCMDRUHGpewgf9[gtdfn</p>

<p>Will This Hurt My Chances?</p>

25

<ol>
<li><p>Why does everyone assume my kid was admitted only because he is an athlete/legacy/URM?</p></li>
<li><p>Does demonstrated interest matter? </p></li>
<li><p>Is it better to get a B in an AP class or an A in honors?</p></li>
</ol>

26

<p>It’s summer and my HS Senior soon to be College freshman is a monster.</p>

27

<p>Why shouldn’t I take out $200,000 in loans to go to NYU? It’s my DREAM school. I’ve always wanted to go there to major in women’s studies/philosophy. I can’t understand why you people say this is a bad idea, especially for those majors!!!</p>

28

<p>LOVE this thread!!!</p>

29

<p>“My parents won’t let me live on campus/go away to school”</p>

30

<p>Are there hot girls at College X?</p>

<p>where College X is ususally an Ivy or similar caliber institution. Followed by thread dismayed that the girls there don’t look like they do in So. Cal or ASU and posters are likely dweeby, not so hot guys.</p>

31

<p>Not only are the threads predictable, the first couple responses are too:</p>

<p>THREAD (first couple responses)</p>

<p>Underrated/overrated schools. (Tufts, Duke, Berkeley, Cornell will surely be mentioned) </p>

<p>Tragic death in Ithaca. (“But STATISTICALLY no more than at any other school!” “My heart goes out to the parents”)</p>

<p>UChicago vs Northwestern (“…fun goes to die” "well-rounded’)</p>

<p>My cat died. (“I’m sooo sorry” “My heart aches for you”)</p>

<p>Why isn’t NYU…in the Ivy League/ranked higher/more respected? (“…bad financial aid” “no campus”)</p>

<p>Is the neighborhood around XYZ University as bad as everybody says it is? (“No, it’s only dangerous for pampered white suburbanites who think it’s ok to go outside at night” “Every city has dangers…you just have to be careful and not do anything stupid like walk alone.”)</p>

32

<p>What ECs should my rising eighth grader do that will improve his/her acceptance chances to HYPSM?</p>

33

<p>Help! I cannot decide where to EA/ED.
What’s the right number of applications?
Why doesn’t [X] get more respect on College Confidential?
How bad is the drug scene at [Y]?
Is being [Z] a “hook”?
Will my extraordinary life story get me into Harvard?
What are the most overrated & underrated colleges?
Do ratings matter?</p>

34

<p>I am conservative and looking for a college that I will be comfortable at (followed by suggestions for Bob Jones etc. or lecture on how student should be more open minded and willing to be challenged in political beliefs)</p>

<p>I am liberal and am looking for a college that I will be comfortable at (followed by long list of suggestions for colleges)</p>

35

<p>Bookmarked</p>

36

<p>“Please read my essay/personal statement (and they post it or pm someone)”
Do they think CC people are admission officers? Don’t they have adults/mentors in their lives to read this stuff?</p>

<p>“I got caught cheating or I got senioritis and my dream school rescinded admission will my appeal work”
Cheating…really? And they warned you over and over about senioritis.</p>

<p>“Financial Aid - how do I cheat the system by (getting married, hiding assets, etc).”</p>

<p>“Colleges for the Jewish “B” Student”-------over 9000 posts!!! Definitely perpetual! Must be a social group, but I’m tired of seeing it on here. Please change the name of the thread as the original topic is obviously exhausted.</p>

<p>“Let’s say random things”----tied of seeing this one, too----stupid high school kids! Ban this one.</p>
