[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think colleges should review dcum postings and reject anyone whose parents have ever used the term “big 3” in case it’s hereditary. [/quote]

Did we agree what are the big 3 schools are?[/quote]

Just stop already. Nobody cares. The top 3 are what you think they are.[/quote]

Big 3 is just short hand for the expensive, non-Catholic schools. [/quote]

Exactly.  Clearly it's a trigger for some but I use it when I want to get an opinion from parents with kids who might be having a similar experience as we are without naming my kids' actual school and throwing it under the bus in a public manner. 
If I just say "private school" then I get replies from parents from any private school you can think of: from Sidwell to Gonzaga to Fairfax Christian to some random school in Iowa (by a family who used to live in DC and still frequents DCUM).  Not really relevant because their experiences (positive and negative) are different.
