<p>Boy, and here I thought there were no smilies on this board.:rolleyes:Hadn’t gotten around to attempting the other options either since I didn’t see anything clickable.:o</p>
<p>I agree it is nice to have a bit of a mixture in the main Parents Forum, and want to add that it’s part of what’s so attractive about this board, however, so far, people still seem to be retaining their sense of humor, as well as the absurd, in there.:D</p>
<p>Thank you Roger_Dooley. The student chatter has died down. I was expecting to be bored until late March. This should keep the parents off the streets and out of the pool halls.</p>
<p>Ok, let me give this a shot: I agree with celebrian when s/he wrote:

<p>Did that work?</p>
<p>This is hilarious. A bunch of people discussing the best universities in the world, and we have trouble how to figure out a little gray box. But at least it worked. Thanks !</p>
<p>Hmmmmmm…joining late on this quote thingy, but I think I’ll try…</p>

<p>Hello,
Have been looking at this site for a few days now. Either CC is mainly a web site for very competitive schools. I don’t see much on schools with kids with 3.0’s and 1150’s, for example. Not a criticism; is my observation correct or am I looking in the wrong areas?</p>
<p>Okay, I want to try this . . .</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>vested–yes, not as much info on those schools, but there are some very knowledgeable posters on this site about all types of schools for all types of students (Carolyn springs to mind), so if you have a questions about any school or type of school just ask, you’ll probably get some answers.</p>
<p>Oh, and start a thread specific to your concern with a catchy specific title and you’ll get more responses . . .</p>

<p>just trying to finally make this work</p>
<p>but why does it keep saying my message is too short when I try to use the quote boxes??</p>
<p>lkf725, if all you do is a quote, it doesn’t recognize any new content and believes you tried to post an empty entry. All you have to do is add a few words other than the quote and it’ll let it go through.</p>
<p>Ten characters should do it,lfk725. Remember ,it won’t appear to you until you post or preview your post.</p>
<p>mstee, Thank you for your reply, will try catchy title and specific school requests.</p>
<p>Welcome to the board, Vested.</p>
<p>You’ve prompted me to start a thread in the Parents Forum that I was musing about earlier today: for all the stress and anxiety on this board…and I have contributed and given my share…there are 8 Ivies, 30 or so other Top CC Colleges, and 25 CC Top LAC’s listed by name under the colleges and universities forum…which makes for a total of 63. There are <em>maybe</em> another 50 colleges with moderately intense admissions processes, for a grand total of 110 or so colleges…out of 3500 colleges in the country.</p>
<p>I second Mstee’s suggestion: Carolyn is one of the most knowledgeable posters about sub-elite colleges…I think Jamimom is probably there as well. I think with a 3.0/1150 student, you can good advice on this board but you’ll have to hunt for it.</p>
<p>TheDad, Thanks very much for the info. I don’t know how to describe the application process, stressful and probably way too focused on the here and now of the situation. Will look for Carolyn and jamimom. Looking forward to your new thread on Parents Forum.</p>
<p>Hi i’m new to this forum but I have a question about my son He wants to go to law school in about 2 years after he finishes his bacholors degree.

<p>Hi Connie,</p>
<p>welcome to the parent’s cafe. I would suggest posting your question in the main parent’s forum as there are uite a few parents who are attorneys that can give you some insight… In addition Ariesathena ihas just completed her first year at law school.</p>
<p>all the best</p>
