<p>I have read this entire thread, and find it interesting that some posters swear that they’re not obsessed, while others admit that they are, but have darn good excuses for their obsessions. </p>
<p>In case you are not certain whether you’re obsessed or not, you can take a moment to answer these five scientifically-tested questions: </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Can you assess whether a score of 2230 on the SAT is better, worse or the same as a 33 on the ACT?</p></li>
<li><p>Can you recite the U.S. News and World Reports top 25 list (although you doubt its legitimacy)?</p></li>
<li><p>Can you identify the following terms and abbreviations: LAC, BWRK, HYPSM, ECs, the Xiggi method, need blind, Twin XL?</p></li>
<li><p>Can you give accurate directions to Middlebury?</p></li>
<li><p>Do you know how to create alternate versions of the Common App?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>If you answered “yes” to four or more of the above, you are indeed obsessed. But there’s nothing wrong with that!</p>
