[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's weird that I still think about the poster who told me my unhooked kid had zero chance to get into Williams. And applying ED was the dumbest thing she'd ever heard of.  With a sign off like, hope your kid likes their safety because that's where they'll end up because you gave your kid terrible advice.

it was so mean and personal. And hey, I didn't give my kid any advice. Anyway, they got into Williams ED. [/quote]
Feelings hurt?[/quote]

OP correct. I recognized it was just a not nice person, but it was a vulnerable moment and I thought, well, that wasn't what I needed to read right now. Felt unnecessary and mean and I guess my feelings were hurt and it was harder than expected to brush off. These are our kids, afterall. And, as I said, I think it's weird that I still think about that one poster when I look at this forum. I have one more kid to get through the process and I wish there was a place to post anonymously about questions and not get jumped on. Maybe there is, but I haven't found it. [/quote]

Not exactly the same, but for my first post here around a situation with preK, I got absolutely awful advice and a few really rude responses.  The advice contradicted some IRL guidance I got, which I thankfully followed.  Everything worked out fine.  The real people I spoke to were right, DCUM was wrong.

I was really naive about DCUM back then, and stupidly thought I’d get some actual help and insight. You can find good info here, but it’s often like finding diamonds in a pile of crap.  I wouldn’t make any real-life moves based solely on what people here say, at all.  [/quote]

There are a few posters here who provide really helpful advices.  Not chance me, not prediction, but on what things to do to improve your chance.  They wrote long posts detailing the action items.  You don't have to follow the exact action items, but nonetheless you got inspired by their suggestions.
