<p>You know you're obsessed when you visit this thread to think of another reason that you're obsessed.</p>
<p>When you're cornered at Target by the nervous mom of a senior . . . and you know the answer to every question she asks . . . and then she suggests you should charge people for all of this advice because she just paid a private counselor a tidy sum and the counselor couldn't answer all of these questions.</p>
<p>OK, I'll add one more...you go to a college fair at a Catholic high school and feel obligated to be the only one to talk to the admissions rep from the University of Judaism (some marketing research they must have! :)) because it might be a fit for someone on CC SOME DAY.</p>
<p>There's a University of Judaism???</p>
<p>Funny, Carolyn! S got a brochure from the University of Judaism in LA the other day.
I'm trying to figure out how they knew he was one of the few Jewish kids in his Catholic school. By the way, UJ did not have a booth at our Catholic HS college fair, at least last year.</p>
<p>When you're on a college visit, checking out the campus bookstore and find yourself thumbing through admissions advice books. There is something ridiculous about browsing through "The Truth About Havard" while at Harvard.</p>
<p>Carolyn, That's really strange. We went to a Jewish college fair, and my daughter goes to a Jewish school, and UJ has been totally invisible. I didn't even know that they had an undergraduate school... But I think every Jesuit college in the country has written D and told her that a Jesuit-based education would be perfect for her.</p>
<p>All the above answers contain much truth, but there is one sure way to know that you have become truly truly obsessed with CC, and that's when you begin to miss TheDad's jokes. (Hasn't hapened to me yet)</p>
<p>Hello all you addicts,</p>
<p>My daughter did college admissions all by herself and breezed through it with her door closed. My son needs to be coaxed through everything. I find myself insanely desirous that he get what he wants - especially because he rarely wants anything, he kind of floats through life - he wants to go to Wesleyan and this application is something I CAN'T DO FOR HIM - makes me gnash my teeth - his time and energy are limited, there is so much homework, and the app is due Nov 15! I guess it's time to let go, eh?</p>
<p>You know you are obsessed when you go to the post office and interrogate the clerk at length about the various ways you can guarantee that your childs application will be received by the college.</p>
