[quote=Anonymous]From 11:33 to 11:39: My comments were not naive. And not that I need to plead my case to you, but I went through the college process in 2004 and again in 2009, in addition to interviewing for my college in the DC area. I agree blind trust is not the way to go. So sure, go do your own research. I think this it is a good idea to have something to bring to the table when you start having those college meetings. But I also think your do your family a disservice by going into the college process with a know-it-all attitude, and thinking that because you sat down with a Fiske guide, you know more than the folks hired to do their job. And again, I think it's great that the parents 11:24 mentioned used this strategy successfully. I was more at odds with the idea of not trusting the faculty in general. I think there is something seriously wrong when you don't trust the people working at the institution you're paying tuition for.[/quote]
