This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

You're right- I'm sure it's a wonderful school with plenty of students who are qualified for ND and I'm just misguided. I'm baffled at why we haven't had more success in Camden, NJ or right up the road in Gary.
We can and often do take chances on guys who wouldn't otherwise be admitted into ND and I think it's great that we do. There are countless numbers of success stories with which we are all familiar. That doesn't change the fact that it's hard to find students who are prepared to succeed at ND from a school with an academic profile like East St. Louis.
