<p>Yeah chance threads for places like the ivies really are useless…but many ccrs (myself included) continue to flood the chance forum with repetitive threads. The only help chance threads can give you, is if a poster tells you something you could improve on or a detail about the school that you did not know.
Ivy league admissions are a crapshoot though, so anyone that asks for chances for the ivies can’t expect a credible answer. Kids with 2400’s, who are valedictorians, and captain of all their ECs don’t get in, while sometimes kids with much lower scores do. My advice is to leave the chances threads, and do something that can truly help your app (essays, EC’s, etc.)</p>
