<p>I’ll start taking bets and an over-under on how many more chance threads we’ll have before April.</p>
<p>Toastmaster, I don’t mean to be specifically snippy towards you, but I like to make the Chicago boards a “chance”-free zone. I’m also not the only one, I see. All of the information that is useful towards chancing you is publicly available on the admissions website; chance threads tend to discourage other prospective students and make them feel more stressed out than necessary. Think of chance threads as asking, “Does this 750 make me look fat?”</p>
<p>I’d much, much, much rather see posts like, “Hi everybody, I’m interested in chemistry and community service. Would Chicago be a good fit for me? What sorts of programs does Chicago offer for chemistry and community service?”</p>
<p>To which I would respond:</p>
