What age/grade did you discover College Confidential? I got mine halfway through freshman year
Discovered CC in 8th, mainly through googling whether certain courses I was signed up for for freshman year would be hard or not and I made my account in 10th
Same as phantomlink, but I made mine at the beginning of freshman year.
December of senior year. A little late for it to help much with some things (didn’t know EA/ED was a thing…didn’t know about Common Data Sets…didn’t know about demonstrating interest) but I’m also glad I didn’t discover it early on. I would have become way too invested in the “What classes should I take in middle school to get into an Ivy??” rat race.
i actually noticed about this is in 7th grade but i wasn’t sure what this site about till someone told me in 8th grade 2nd semester and made my account in 8th grade summer
I noticed it at the beginning of junior year and got an account around that time too. Kind of glad I have it right now as a senior.
Late/summer of 9th
I’ve been lurking since 11th grade. Mostly searching for answers to questions I had. Just made one a few weeks ago as a senior.
Junior.
I’ve been looking at college stuff since 8th grade, not sure why it took me so long to discover CC.
It says on my profile thing that I joined October 2013 which was fall of 9th grade.
Summer before sophomore year.
Summer before sophomore year but been looking at stuff on here since the end of freshmen year
I started reading threads in the seventh or eighth grade and finally made an account the fall semester of ninth.
End of 10th grade and i’m a senior now.
Got mine the beginning of my freshman year in high school. I’m a senior in university now.
wow such various age groups.
Senior year of high school in April. Lurked for a few months before finally posting. Glad I didn’t discover CC until after I applied and got accepted because otherwise I would have thought that I couldn’t get accepted anywhere (had about a 3.0 GPA).
I started when I was 2
It was June 2012, at the end of my tenth grade year.
The summer before my senior year. I found out about it in the spring of my junior year.
I don’t come from a ‘go to college’ family or community so I didn’t really make my decision to go to college until my sophomore year. CC has been so helpful but seeing it earlier probably would’ve just stressed me out.
