Eh who cares. I have more or less stopped engaging with threads on here that won’t directly help some applicant or prospective student learn about the school.
I think this is symptomatic of a very different and bigger problem: students are slowly avoiding CC. Percentages of posts on this forum by actual applicants or prospies has dramatically dropped, and the volume of new posts has slowed to a trickle! I suspect this is a combination of parents using the forums to Fight the Good Fight and defend their school’s honor (which annoys literally everyone else, including me, and makes people not want to stick around), and the rise of College-Confidential-like communities on dramatically more young-people-centric forums like Reddit.
I think this is in general a bad thing because, for all of CC’s flaws, I honestly do think it’s the best place to get information that is unlikely to be horribly wrong or biased to the point of having no utility. So I stick around.
