What Do You Think?

Applying to College

<p>I've offically had it with this site. Kids disgustingly obsessed with academics as if any of it actually mattered. You might be interested as to why I am so upset. I recently saw a thread where a kid had a 1.4 GPA and he knew he had made mistakes, but he wanted to attend med school and become a doctor someday. </p>

<p>The people who commented offered absolutely no advice to him what so ever. And said it was quote, "impossible" for him ever to become a doctor. </p>

<p>In any respect who is to say he couldn't become a great doctor? How can anyone tell that kid he couldn't do something? Because he "didn't care" in high school? This notion is extremely dogmatic and foolish. This also brings into account the nature of our educational system, but that is another story. </p>

<p>So goobye CC. Have fun in your dillusional world of "academics."</p>

<p>I partially agree with you, there are lots of extremely arrogant people on collegeconfidential. These people are the students/parents that are wealthy and use collegeconfidential to brag about meaningless things (e.g. 2400s who make “What are my chances” thread) in order to inflate their own egos. I do not think that every CC member is like this. There are some members that truly offer good advice.</p>

<p>BTW can you give me a link to that thread that you mention above (prospective doctor with 1.4 GPA).</p>
