[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Crazy U was really bad. The guy is so pessimistic and he plays into parents' fears instead of helping to make the process more clear. Because he worked for the Bush White House, he gets access to some people that we wouldn't, but he doesn't do anything but make you think you're screwed in this process. Who needs to read a book like that? If you have one kid who went through the process already, you'll read it knowing that some of the events he describes are made up, positioned to be earlier in the college process, or exaggerated. He describes UVA as a "big state U" when it's nowhere near OSU, Michigan, Wisconsin, or other schools that actually should get that label. [/quote] UVA is an R-1 university with 21K+ students. What are your criteria for "Big State U?" Sure OSU, Michigan and Wisconsin are bigger but so what? [/quote]
