[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To me the less helpful responses are not the bragging ones but the ones unhinged from reality. Like “my kid has a 3.3 uw, 1 AP,  wants engineering” and the responses are like “he won’t get in anywhere, start at community college or consider the trades.” Child is then accepted to 9 ABET-accredited schools.

Or responses to posts in late March like “my kid is deciding between Penn St and Ohio St, which is better?” And the response is “They’re both terrible, kid should choose (school the kid never applied to and would never have been accepted).[/quote]

These people are better off posting on CC where people genuinely try to be helpful. Some annoying posters, but most good. Too snarky here for this.[/quote]
This is a relatively new (and unfortunate) development for DCUM. College forum used to be helpful and at least civil. Jeff will work to delete obnoxious unhelpful posts if you report them. At least he used to. Those posts may make up the majority now. [/quote]

Agree w/you. I've stopped posting for the most part.
It also seems dead and lifeless lately around here.[/quote]
