<p>i think CC also has way too many helicopter parents</p>
<p>Good to know, necro boy.</p>
<p>Keep in mind CC is full of grade and score inflated threads. There is no way to substantiate a forum member’s GPA, SATs, or ECs. There are a lot of honest forum members who genuinely want to know if they have what it takes to get into “HYPSM”, but on other hand there a lot of ■■■■■■ who skew data. I would not use CC as a way to compare yourself to other prospective applicants. I would use CC to learn about colleges, ask questions about colleges, standardized testing, or if you’re really anxious hearing about when AP scores come out or when you’ll hear back from colleges.</p>
<p>I used CC to chat and vent with others during my application stage. I liked the variety of experience the fellow hopefuls, parents, and current students had.</p>
