<p>I've done it myself, so I can't knock people who have done it. But I think it's rather ludicrous to create a thread asking to be chanced for HYPMS and expect a definitive answer. No on here knows if you'll be accepted or rejected. The most we can say is "good chances" or "poor chances". I also think that opening a chance thread can discourage people from applying to their dream school because they're told they aren't good enough or "your scores are too low". I can't blame anyone but myself, really. But I do think it's imperative that no one here takes these chance threads seriously. This board is comprised of high school juniors and seniors who are merely taking guesses based upon test scores and ECs. </p>
