<p>This is not a chance thread as much as it is a "should I apply" thread. I know, people are going to say "the only way to not get in is to not apply," but lets be realistic; there are kids who have a high shot and kids who their shot asymptotes (yes, asymptotes :b) to zero.</p>
<p>So, should I spend the money and try to apply? I don't want to put everything, but I'll put important stuff.</p>
