They make those nuts moderators, so you have idiots cultivating a strong anti-elite, pro mediocre university bias, and let their internet friends hi-jack all the threads with their out of touch talking points. It's basically a white trash mom echo chamber with the tiny decent info not worth the time to find. If you google search the forum, you can tell the insights 10 years ago were vastly superior to the echo chamber crap on there now.[/quote]

In other words, it's not the 'HYPSM are the only schools worth anything, and anyone looking anywhere else is a complete loser doomed to live in their parents' basement and it's your fault as a parent for not pushing them harder' mentality that you find all over this forum.  There is so much nastiness here (not from everyone, but it's so pervasive). CC is refreshing in that parents seem to be supportive of each other and post useful information.

I've found a lot of useful information in the College Search and Selection, the Parent Class of 20XX threads, and the specific university threads. Completely agree that the Chance Me threads are best avoided.[/quote]

I bet you don't even live in DC. Are you one of those CC nutjobs posting the same crap over and over, year after year? If your kids are average and they're planning to attend average colleges, you don't need to waste time on a college admissions forum.  Colleges outside the top 50 accept everyone with a pulse and the merit awards are clearly detailed on their websites.[/quote]
