<p>Essay and Supplement</p>

<p>I don’t understand why people with stats like these even post chance threads. Clearly you, along with everyone else, know you have great chances at Chicago and many other schools you could wish to apply for, there’s no need for you to hear others say it over and over again. Go compare your stats with those in the results thread if you really want to get an idea of what your chances are, but let me say this:
The chancing threads on this site mean almost nothing. There are students with amazing profiles that don’t make it into schools and students with mediocre profiles that do. Don’t put ANY weight on what people in here tell you your chances are, most of them know as much as you when it comes to college admissions.</p>
