Everyone gets a chance

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Considering my first attempt at making this thread went terribly and a lot of unnecessary confusion ensued, lets try again. 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:
1) Everyone gets 1 post for their stats
2) First person posts their stats in accordance to the template (see below)
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>The template <em>please fill out to ensure being chanced</em></p>

NYU - reach. However, you do have good volunteering and GPA. Your SAT score is the only thing that’s hurting you. If you raised it to a 1950 I would put you as match.

<p>sorry did see your post nihilus
for you-
your test scores are obviously fine for all of those colleges and your GPA is probably the average for all applicants
you have some pretty good EC
you could get into UPenn easily since you meet the criteria and work with them over the summer
all of them are extremely low reaches or even matches (you never know with IV schools since they accept so little people) you probably will get into most of them</p>
