Is the only reason to ask to be chanced for a self-esteem boost?

if you’re interested in a college, can’t you evaluate your own credentials based off of the research you’ve done on the college?

An outside perspective can be useful because it’s hard to be objective about yourself. The problem with the chances forum on here is that the outside perspective usually comes from some kid who doesn’t know any more than you do.
I posted a couple of chances threads when I was in high school, mostly because I’m self-absorbed and I like making lists.
