<p>I know I've only been on the forum for a little while but I think it might make for an interesting experiment to see if we can innovate the chance me section. Although it may not be for everyone, I thought I might give it a shot to try to ensure that everyone gets at least one response. </p>
<p>The goal: for everyone to have at least one response by another member and for fewer posts left unread by people who want an earnest response. Additionally, the 1 post limit rule keeps the chancing going and allows for everyone to get what they came for.</p>
<p>The rules: relatively simple
1) Everyone gets 1 post for their stats
2) First person posts their stats and any other necessary criteria along with a list of schools that they would like to apply to
3) Next poster would copy the school list of the first poster and chance them on a 'reach-target-safety' scale and then post their own stats along with their own list of schools
4) repeat the cycle</p>
<p>Example for those who are still confused:
1st poster---
posts stats and school list
2nd poster---
answers school list with 'reach, target, or safety' for each school and then follow up with their own stats and schools
3rd poster and so on---
repeat of 2nd poster's rules</p>
<p>If anyone has any questions in regard to this they can pm me (although it should be pretty straightforward). Whoever wants to post first is welcome to do so. </p>
<p>On second thought, I might start just start out…</p>

<p>You’re scores are really good and your ecs are good as well. Im guessing you’re a junior? Try to get your SAT score to the 2300s and I think you have a good chance for all these colleges. I just put reach for alot of them because they are such prestigious colleges that they are selective. But i really think you have a good chance</p>
