Get the LA Confidential mug.An online forum with elitist and nerdy, overachieving students who are constantly worried about whether they will get into a top-ranking school
A (hyped-up) example of a post on a forum in College Confidential:
OP: Hello everyone at College Confidential! My name is SuperAchiever5000. Anyways, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY CHANCES for the Ivies, Duke, NYU, and Washington University in St. Louis?
I have a 4.99 GPA and a perfect SATI, with eight SATIIs (including French, German, Spanish, and Chinese) each at 770 or above. I'm just worried that I'm not special enough. I'm president of the entire freakin school and have volunteered more than 500 hours at the local shelter and pound. I play the piano and the violin. I haven't had that many awards, but I did win the international math competition. Also, one summer I found the cure to AIDs.
Do you think I have a chance to get into my selected schools?
Reply1: You have a shot! Go for it!
Reply 2: I'd say match for the Ivies, match for WUSTL, but high reach for NYU just cuz...
Reply3: No way, Reply2! I'd say OP with those stats will get in anywhere!
OP: Thanks guys for the encouragement! Anyone else? Wish me luck!

Get the college confidential mug.A website that is supposed to help high school students and their parents with getting into university and how to manage courses while there, but is flooded with insecure people who act elitist and belittle others based on their mediocre GPA, SAT/ACT scores, etc. If you have a 3.3 GPA, you are seen as a loser similar to someone begging for money on the freeway overpass. Most believe if it's a tactic to get people to become hopeless so they don't apply to the Ivy League and have them get an easier chance of getting in.
User: I have a 3.3 GPA, 1250 SAT and 30 ACT, along with being the president of the Hockey club, 5 AP courses taken with 3 4's and 2 5's, and have over 100 hours of community service. What are my chances of getting into San Diego State?
Idiot on College Confidential: You are more likely to mop floors at McDonald's then get into SDSU with those stats kiddo. Have you considered community college?

Get the College Confidential mug.The ultimate circle-jerk for insecure high schoolers and/or obsessive parents who want to live vicariously through their children. Arrogance, exaggeration, and downright creepiness from parents and students alike can be found in this psuedo-intellectual cesspool. Many normal and average students get sucked into viewing their forums through the "chance me" section of the website to compare themselves to these egomaniacs and their parents. Truly the most toxic place on the internet, avoid at all costs for your own mental health.
A Typical College Confidential Parent: MY SON WITH A 7.4 UW GPA, 1700 SAT, 50 MILLION LEADERSHIP POSITIONS ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL, 25 HIGH PROFILE INTERNSHIPS, AND A RECOMMENDATION FROM JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF GOT WAITLISTED FROM OUR STATE SCHOOL. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??????? (beside obvious exaggeration in stats, this was a real forum I saw.)

Get the College Confidential mug.A great movie directed by Curtis Hanson about crime and corruption in the city of L.A. during the 50's from the perspective of cops. The perfect cast includes Guy Pearce, Russel Crowe, Kevin Spacey, James Cromwell, Kate Basinger, and Danny De Vito. The overrated Titanic robbed it of Oscar glory.
