<p>Before stumbling upon this forum during many of my googling rampages, I thought I had a decent shot at some top colleges, including UPenn. However, now, after becoming an active cc user, that confidence has gone down the drown and made me think, "how could I have ever been stupid enough to even think I'd have a shot?" Maybe I'm just going through this since decisions are so close, but have any of you also noticed that, or am the only underqualified bum on this site? haha :)</p>
<p>Hahaha… Ya. A bit. But other than 'My Chances" and stuff, this CC gives you lot of information on colleges, college selections and visits…</p>
<p>College is more than numbers. All the cc people can predict or do is just tell you from your Numbers. You are much much more than your Numbers!!</p>
<p>I agree. People on this site put a heavy emphasis on scores and are quick to put you down, all the while forgetting that the admissions process at many elite schools is a holistic one. I just find it discouraging when people with 2300 SATs are being told to increase their scores, when I myself barely broke 2000.</p>
<p>Haha no this site definitely showed me how mediocre I am.</p>
<p>Plus reading some of these threads just makes you realize how <em>nothing</em> is guaranteed - I read about people who seem like they have absolutely no flaws and are still rejected.</p>
<p>Depressing.</p>
<p>Only five more days anyways, so we’ll find out soon!</p>
<p>CC practices tough love on chance threads. However, if we are wrong, we are quick to congratulate you.</p>
<p>Guys no worries. Most colleges look at things besides ECA and test scores; they expect to see more how you learn from the activities you do and why you are commited to doing these things. So focus more on the latter part and calm down. If you do, I believe you will all have a nice shot.</p>
