So.....

<p>You are correct it is a college forum, however, in this area of the CC forum, applicants, cadets and parents are experiencing a different world that the “real” student or parent can’t begin to understand. What college kid goes off in June and has no contact with their family for sev. weeks? What freshman is told you will not go home for Thanksgiving, here’s your new family for the next four years? Normal freshman pack up a car with every fun thing to use, they will not be told these are your clothes, shoes, blankets, etc. How many parents of the college student have had to worry that their child may be in harm’s way within months of graduation?
Under your thought I’ll go over to the Harvard area and tell what I believe it will take to get in.<br>
In the end it is called respect. Don’t give an answer if you truly don’t know. These posters are in need of answers that are correct not guesses.</p>

<p>BTW I think you should re-think who you respect. Cad grads for the most part are AD or retirees. You are insinuating that the retirees don’t deserve your respect</p>
