<p>You haven’t been on CC for very long, or read many of the last month’s posts, have you? College admissions seem to be getting more and more random: kids with incredible stats, ecs, essays, etc, get rejected or waitlisted, and people with lower stats, etc, get in. Listen to the NPR report showing how random a day of admissions at Amherst was. If you haven’t figured it out by now, getting “chanced” is useless. People who thought they would get into their “safety” school didn’t! There is no way to predict, unless you work admissions at the school to which you are applying, or know someone who does…Just do your best, take the hardest courses you can, and apply to a WIDE variety of schools!</p>

<p>There are many people on CC asking to be “chanced.” I am not asking for a yes or no answer. I’m just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how I could improve.</p>
