| I agree with NewD. You should add parent, student, applicant, moderator.
Another thing you should make mandatory is gender.
It's happen to me a bunch of times where i think that an applicant is a guy from subarban atlanta and it turns out the applicant is a female applicant from asia. It would help a lot.
(I thought xoxcookie was the example above.) |

| i dont kno- what if people dont feel comfortable about sharing their gender? they could always lie, anyway. aussie tried to fool people into think he was from australia, but is really from manhattan. i like the parent/applicant, but i dont wan to give out to much info. | |

| oh! i think you should have PARENT, APPLICANT, STUDENT, so we know if we are asking questions from someone with experience, or just someone in the same boat. | |

| I think it is really quite evident 99% of the time, if you are speaking to a parent or a kid. No sense in making more rules that someone could break if they so desired.... | |

| I've just rejoined this forum after a long break. I think the boarding school thread is great.
The top ten is a good idea, but an area for the not so well-known would be good as well.
Sorry if Im just repeating anything someone has already posted! | |

| I would say not just the top ten schools, but the top ten schools that are mentioned most on this forum. Schools I hear about often are Exeter, Andover, SPS, Deerfield, Peddie, MX, NMH, Blair, etc. A lot of those schools are not considered "top ten", but are mentioned. | |

| We definitely need a chances thread. That would especially help since the Class of 2013 will start asking what their chances are with schools pretty soon. | |

| >>a "museum forum"
This is what the "featured threads" function is for. If you see a thread that merits saving for future reference, use the "Recommend" link under "Thread Tools". If a mod agrees, the thread will be at the top of the forum for a while, and as new threads are added it will scroll into the "library" for that forum. (That's the "more" link below the featured threads at the top of the forum.) That's true in ANY forum at CC, by the way. | |

| If you add the PARENT, STUDENT, APPLICANT, you might also include PROFESSIONAL for those of us who are school administrators. | |
