I have looked at cc on and off for two years. it is informative in that it makes you feel better about not getting into a school or worrying about it but really guys, either the stats are way exaggerated or the kids on here are super human. i work, make all A's, enjoy weekends and join a few clubs. and i am very tired.
some kids post so many ecs that i have to wonder if they are all real or if their school lets the kids do this just for the look? for instance, a friend said that at his school one teacher lets all of the kids say they are officers in a club?

Back to the point, my b went to a college talk session and the school said the primary thing they looks at is transcripts. Yet others posted that they had a 3.5 at a school that posts it requires a 4.1? but the SAT score was very high. So that makes you think that either the school is not upfront or the kid is not telling the truth or what do you think?

This site would be BETTER if it separated what the author calls gossip from some facts. And if kids are using it to give them an edge on admissions, think again. None of this stuff is proven. None of the posts can be taken for absolute truth. And, if you don't say what everyone wants to hear you get attached. Just look at the post where someone contradicts what you want to hear and the replies are so offensive. THESE ARE KIDS TALKING on the most part and another kid does not know any more than you do. You are asking for chances to another kid! if he knew, he wouldn't be on this site he would be working at the college!
