<p>Hey everyone. Am I the only one tired of reading all these ridiculous "Chance-me" posts? I'll admit, I put one up myself a few months ago, when I was new to CC and didn't understand how obnoxious those kinds of posts are, but I regretted it almost immediately afterward. I was looking through some of the Ivy League threads this afternoon to get a feel for the application process at schools like HYP, but half the posts were from self-touting chancers. Are you kidding me? Okay, I can believe that you're a #1, 4.0, 2400 student, but please don't try to shove an obviously fabricated laundry list of nominal extracurriculars down my throat. Oh, you're a state champion cross-country runner? Awesome. You've been published in a national science journal? Sweet. You worked one-on-one with an Ive League professor this summer? Cool story bro. Just spare me the agony of having to read about it in what is an otherwise very helpful website.
I'm new to the world of blogging, so I apologize if this post is considered "trolling." I'm just hoping that I'm not the only one fed up with all these chance-me posts.</p>
