<p>For anyone who has been bashed on "chance" threads, this girl (<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/865670-how-do-colleges-look-sats-internationals-2.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/865670-how-do-colleges-look-sats-internationals-2.html&lt;/a&gt;) was...</p>

<p>Accepted to MIT!!!</p>

<p>A nice example of why chance threads are pretty ****. DO NOT let a "chance me" thread keep you from applying!</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Could you invite her to write a more elaborate account of her story? I think it would be inspiring to all those who dream big but do not have the courage to try.</p>

<p>Keep us updated on her other results also!
Thanks for sharing.</p>

<p>I never ask for a chance in the forum, but I did ask silverturtle to run his self-chancing program with my stats. his program returned ‘very low chance’ / ‘almost no chance’ abt my application for high-ranked university…</p>

<p>and I get accepted in both Stanford and MIT :smiley: so… yeah, i think written scores (which is used for most chancing) only can’t determine acceptance / rejection.</p>
