<p>rocketman...why did you hijack the OP's thread?</p>

5

<p>well, the title just says "chances at stanford" not "my chances at stanford" or anything.</p>

6

<p>btw, major props for the spectrum thing. youth who take initiative are COOL.</p>

7

<p>Wow. When was the last time a chances thread came back from three weeks of idleness?</p>

<p>Savoirfaire: it's an unwritten CC rule (and a basic display of online etiquette) to not hijack someone else's "Chances" thread. They don't have to openly claim it. It's understood that "chances" threads belong entirely to the OP. What's wrong with making your own?</p>
