What we have are anonymous posters and we have no evidence of whether what they are saying is valid, or simply their opinion. That is why the best and most reliable posts include links to objective sources of information - university websites and news articles for example.
I believe strongly that no one should listen to alamemom without verifying what I have said! I encourage anyone getting advice on college confidential to check and double check anything they read on this site - my posts included. That is why in my posts about admissions I try to include links to the source of my information so the person asking the question can verify the information themselves.</p>
