Brown senior and CC member Shara Azad has written a great article about her CC experience:

I do not need a blog entry to remind me what I was doing on this day in 2007, because I did the same thing everyday for that entire overly stressful year. I would hurry home from school to open my laptop to the homepage of the College Confidential, spending the subsequent part of the afternoon scrolling through thread after thread, reading frantic posts by similarly college-admissions-obsessed teens…

… I cannot bash the concept of college admissions discussion forums when I myself learned so much from them. In College Confidential’s network of parents, professionals, and students, I learned more about the college application process than my school counselor would have ever been able to tell me.

What a wonderful compliment to CC, and in particular to all of the CC members who take the time to share their knowledge and opinions with other members!
