[quote=Anonymous]This board tends to attract parents whose kids are focused on the very competitive T50 schools. Trying to get in there requires a lot of effort, including some insight into details that are not otherwise easy to find. Applying to the T50 schools can be a total PITA, and I've found DCUM to be very helpful.

There is also A LOT of excellent information and advice on this board about less intense, competitive, highly rejective schools.  It's just harder to find sometimes.

My advice: Skip all the broad posts, especially anything with T10 or T20 in the title. Start putting together a list of schools that interest your DC. Then use Google to search this board for threads specifically about those schools. (Search DCUM + [School Name])

Yes, that will bring up otherwise helpful and insightful threads that also include some annoying, rude, and/or obnoxious comments about said school. Just ignore that part. Lots of haters who can't help themselves.

I've learned A LOT by posting questions that are very specific. Example: My DC Likes School X and School Y. Where Else Should They Consider? (Then provide a few more details in the post about WHY your DC likes those schools, and people will give good ideas.)[/quote]
