I don’t come on here very much when I do I’m on my son’s account. I’ve seen a bit in that thread and its a little brutal. My son believes this site a little too much and he let’s these kids run him down. Some of the comments he has gotten were

1. Are you just lazy or?..

2. You will never get into college unless you have a ATLEAST a 3.0 gpa. You’re community college material

3. You’re pretty much screwed.

4. Those are all really bad schools and still you will never get in.

My son is pretty impressionable on this site because he thinks everyone knows what they’re talking about since there are all these kids applying to schools like Yale and he’s applying to a public school. I mean University of Iowa is a great school with a great business program. This is also one of my son’s top choices. I could definately see him at 5 of the 7 schools he listed but it’s just so expensive.

We are both trying to stay away from the community college here. We have an awful community college and the education quality from the school is just getting weaker and weaker. I went to this college for 2 years and when I transferred from this school I really struggled to get on my feet.
