[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone mentioned that the kind of prospective student influenced by TikTok is unlikely to enhance any school's actual academic life? So whatever "popularity" they acquire will remain irrelevant for the measures that count when serious people consider institutions of higher learning? No, huh?[/quote]

Yes! Because no one ever matures or changes in any appreciable way after they’re 18 years old.

You are ridiculous, in addition to being a snob. [/quote]

Factoring TikTok into serious plans is ridiculous. Unless you think college is just a series of frat parties or something, in which case, any flood of applicants like that is really pretty useless for raising the academic accomplishment profile of an ambitious school. [/quote]

It’s much better to be influenced by the opinions of people posting in DCUM.  :roll: [/quote]

Probably about equal. So what I'm hearing on this thread is that academically undistinguished students are using a very questionable decision-making process to select undergraduate institutions for reasons that have nothing to do with what happens in the classroom. That's fine if parents agree to pay for summer camp. But since these kids are not the cream of the crop, it won't do anything to raise the profile of the schools in any way that matters.[/quote]
