<p>“Cornell? I’d rather go to community college.”</p>

143

<p>“Oh, no! MIT and other schools look at the individual’s ability to help and contribute to the community? They care about kindness and giving??? I’ll work on that now so I can get in.”</p>

<p>Maybe I’m too cynical, but I think most people have this mentality…they generally aren’t that candid about it, though. Lol.</p>

<p>"Freshmen Year: A+ in all Honors classes
Sophomore Year: A+ in all Honor and AP classes
Junior Year: “I’m taking every AP my school has but I’m worried that I might get an A in an AP class, do you think I should drop the AP?”</p>

<p>I’ve seen something like this a couple days ago!</p>

<p>I took the SAT an hour ago, but I omitted a question on one section. Should I cancel my score!?</p>

147

<p>You’re only self-studying <em>gasp</em> THREE APs?</p>

<p>After showing a schedule with at least 3 AP:
“6/10 not challenging enough.”</p>

<p>"We applied to just 6 colleges. I honestly think anyone who applies to more hasn’t done enough research or visits. Also, <em>we</em> applied to so many because of merit aid. Don’t look at any private schools or even think of doing humanities – engineering at Bama is the way to go! "</p>

<p>Okay, I kid, I kid but seriously, whenever i read any of the forums that the adults frequent, this is ALL I ever see.</p>

<p>“My parents each make $250,000 annually and I got NO financial aid. The middle class always gets screwed.”</p>

151

<p>" Colleges don’t want robotic asians. Show your true self!"</p>

<p>Parents on CC:
“I’m older than you and am therefore exceedingly wise and mature.”
<em>spends days debating with teenagers on an internet forum</em>
“ROLL TIDE.”
“My S, D, A, F AND G turned down Harvard for our flagship.”
“But I’m not a helicopter parent.”
“I wonder if your attitude was revealed in your college essays…”</p>

153

<p>Omg the amount of Alabama parents on this forum is ridiculous…</p>

154
