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 Casual Collective mug.A fairly well known liberal arts college located in the heart of Boston, with specialties in the performing arts, film, journalism, and communications. Overall, a pretty kick ass place, especially since Jay Leno and the Fonz are alum. Students are artsy.

Get the Emerson College mug.A tavern or bar room or cheap gin mill. This is due to the fact that Australians are known for excessive drinking and spending too much time in gin mills.
Joe is over at Australian College getting his load on.
The only education he got was sitting on a bar stool in Australian college.

Get the Australian College mug.Blue collar does NOT simply refer to working class people. Blue collar workers are working class people whose jobs consist of MANUAL labor.
A white collar worker may also be a member of the working class. In some cases white collar workers make less money than blue collar workers.
