Is it a good idea to reply to your chance thread after applications?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So let's say I created a thread for chances at colleges X, Y and Z.</p>

<p>Would it be okay to reply back to your own thread after you get all your application results back? Like if X rejected me, Y accepted me etc.</p>

<p>I just thought it would be helpful to anyone who stumbles upon the thread somehow in the future... I mean it would provide some anecdotal evidence what kind of students get into certain universities and are rejected by others. I thought this was a good idea, but is it okay to reply to your thread that's a few months old by the time you get in to college?</p>

<p>There is another subforum for posting results too.</p>

<p>I think it’s a great idea.</p>

<p>There’s nothing wrong with this. However many schools will have some sort of thread where you can post acceptances and rejections and your credentials.</p>

<p>Although it’s perfectly fine to do this, I don’t think it’s worth the bother unless you have a lot of folks who chanced you. They are likely the only ones who will see it. Most people looking for results from other applicants go to the results threads where these are consolidated, rather than the chances threads where there is a lot to sift through and very few results.</p>

<p>@bill, I haven’t seen any (other than for a specific university in a specific year)</p>

<p>@Psycho, Well yes, but think about it this way: If a person applies to 10 schools, is he/she really going to go to each of those university’s ‘class of 201x’ threads and post all of his/her credentials there and say whether or not he/she got in?</p>

<p>I feel like this is a lot easier without having to repetitively list out all our credentials and stuff over and over again.</p>

<p>@niceday, okay yeah I guess. Out of experience though, before I joined CC, a few times I remember googling things like “2200 SAT 3.8 GPA UC” and having links displayed of chance threads at CC with someone asking for a chance at the UC schools with similar stats to me. That’s probably just me though haha.</p>

<p>Just offering my take on this, most likely a bad idea though.</p>

Look at the stick thread in this subforum.

<p>I have been reading that thread for a while to get more information for chancing.</p>

<p>Just remember kids usually get chanced by other kids, based on a limited bit of info.</p>

<p>@bill, Oh wow, haha I did NOT see that thread. Pretty much exactly what I was talking about, thank you!</p>
