Is college confidential a good site for college admissions advice?

Yes or no?

College Confidential can sometimes have good advice, but most of the time it will just make you less confident. The reason is most students on that forum boast amazing scores, extra curricular and GPA's, making it seem near impossible to get into some schools (even though with the right moves you might have a better chance).





My suggestion is to stick with the Dean's advice, a section on the site, and the college tours section.Is college confidential a good site for college admissions advice?
There are good and bad aspects to the site.





Good: It can have real students willing to answer questions as well as people with good experience at the college admissions process. It also can you basic information on a college, SAT, and financial aid.





Bad: The people can try to make people feel bad if they don't maintain perfect scores, GPA, and extra stuff outside of school. I also think people tend to purport stereotypes about a school if they don't really know it.
