[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, OP, I recommend you get out now and don't look back. This is the bad place. Even the useful and well-intentioned posts required wading chest-deep through misinformation and muck.

Here are the things I got out of here that were valuable:

1. I was introduced to Jeff Selingo -- his book The Price You Pay for College is worth the money.

OP here. Thank you.

Fortunately, my kid is past the college application process (though I have a second one). I found this forum through the Reddit page that was populated by mostly high school students and it was a pretty good place to start from as long as there was an awareness that these kids are mostly on the same boat of being clueless too. I ironically thought that this forum would have more real life experiences with it being populated by adults but found that the reddit pages were actually kinder and more decent.

It's very unfortunate because a lot of parents do come here from a place of not knowing and vulnerability and it's super weird to see the responses to legitimate questions be so rude and unhelpful that I did wonder if the responses were from actual adults or just teens trying to be... edgy?

I see what you did here OP, 👏... I think you now realize it's a bunch of clueless day-drinking lonely housewives that didn't get into a sorority or were shunned by "frat boy bro culture", are ranking obsessed lunatics that can't envision their kids at anything less than a top twenty and split hairs over 8 vs. 15 and 15 vs. 40 with no experience or context.

This board is a cesspool of anonymous freaks that can express their pathological weird obsessions (bragging about their kids accomplishments, denigrating schools for certain personal unknown reasons, arguing because they cant in real life) in a place no one can call them on it and shun them for the weird, classless, obtuse freaks they are.
