Stop downplaying/overplaying yourself

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Just a note: a lot of people that I've seen on this Chances thread are either downplaying/overplaying their stats. A thread title like, "Horrible _____" (insert ECs, grades, test scores, etc.) isn't warranted when you've only gotten a couple Bs, or missed a 2300 SAT score by a few hundred points. It makes me want to chance you less if you downplay (which is what I see a lot of people doing) yourself to get attention. Stop being an attention whore and just post your stats without unnecessary embellishments.</p>

<p>That said, if you're applying to Harvard with a 2.0 GPA I can understand how a specific thread title might be warranted. But in 99.9999% of cases that isn't true.</p>

<p>Let's calm down people and make this an open thread with good vibes, please?</p>
