What is confidential?
A "college help forum" that breeds elite nerd factions. Everyone wants to know their "chances" of getting into a certain Ivy school, but everyone knows that if you don't have an inspiring life story you can't get in in the first place.

I only took 5 AP classes senior year, earned a 34 on the ACT, 2290 on the SAT, earned a million awards, have 3,219 community service hours, gave a speech in front of 100,000 people, earned a plaque from my counselor for writing the best application essay he's ever seen, got 780 or better on each of the 16 subject tests I've taken. I have a 4.99 GPA, and I am #2 in my class of 933 (it's a big school and it's competitive) and I'm an internet troll. I have no chance into any college at all! Will colleges care if I didn't take that many AP classes? and that I have bad scores? Tell me! I don't want to be a loser. I have no chance at all!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!1111OMG1!!!ROFLZ!!!!1!!!!!!
Proper reply: If you think a 34 on the ACT give you no chance into any school, you might be as smart as Christian Weston Chandler. Even the perfect student doesn't take that many AP tests, let alone earns all fives.

Own an iPad and make $2,000,000 off making apps
Proper reply: How is all this possible?
Confidential - what does it mean?
Among the worst websites on the internet. A place to go where you can read about snotty geniuses who feel the need to brag in the ultimate attempt to make the "average high school student" feel pity on the themselves. An absolutely awful website that privileges and celebrates the Ivy League-Potential student, while completely forgetting about everyone else.

Confidential - meaning
when you ask someone for information, and tell them that it will be on the confidential so the information will stay between to the 2 people in the conversation, its quite like "on the DL" but less ghetto. coined by me, 2005
person 1.so whats goin on with you 2.
person 2.nothin.
person 1.cmon itll be kept on the confdential.
person 2.ok well ....
or
make sure you keep that info, on the confidential
Confidential - definition
When something is meant to be kept secret.
When one of Hello Kylie's fans say that #Hylie is real and Hello Kylie says that it is confidential but, guess what, it is #Hannie, everyone!
Confidential - slang
in terms of goverment and federal secrecy it is what it is which are the records and information applied about a person or an event...but when a school psychologists says it to a student patient or other corrupt officials working for the school they secretly lie to you and send the information you told in your records in confirmation to your status.
Dr Dennis: Hellow Bill I see youv'e made a dark picture
