<p>I think that someone should make a sticky topic about chances; it highlights whether the applicant is competitive or not and gives him/her a general idea. </p>

<p>Example of the topic’s format: </p>

<p>MIT
Low chances: GPA<3.5, SAT < 2100, SAT II < 700, few extracurricular activities, low AP scores …etc.</p>
