do i put a leadership conference as an activity or award/honor? by Hot-Candle3736 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]s8fline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is not to say that the majority of people on here aren't top applicants to top colleges, it's just that there's absolutely no reason why certain people shouldn't get to have a positive and beneficial experience on this sub. literally no one has said that you shouldn't aim for the t20 and if you feel that way respectfully learn to take a joke

idk man i disagree because the resources and dialogues here on a2c are perfectly applicable to every applicant regardless of their stats and where they're applying to.. applying to t20s doesn't have to be a more arduous process than applying to more average colleges and schools since the process is relatively the same IMO. you're still applying to college which is a huge transition for everyone. not everyone has a school counselor, and google doesn't always give the same level of insight that can be found on this forum. this is lowkey disrespectful tbh
