What's up with these chance me threads? Should there be something done/addressed?

I have no problem with helping people and giving my perspective/advice but I feel like a lot of these chance-me threads are stemmed off of a lack of confidence. Most of the ones I've read usually have both grades/EC to have a fair shot at applying to BSMD programs.

That being said, I feel we need to get this point across: There is no BSMD application EVER that will tell any consultant/helper whether or not your a guarantee for this program. I feel like the intense competition not only degrades the confidence of so many students but it also creates an insanely unhealthy environment in which students are kinda just copying the EC of previous BSMD admits. Not to mention- the fear of low seats/rejections create so many desperate students. I feel like students should also understand that 1) Copying an admits application won't guarantee an acceptance and 2) (And this is a GREAT point made by someone) You can do everything correctly for a BSMD (EC, grades, essays) but sometimes there just aren't enough seats for everyone

If your a student currently reading this right now, I genuinely wish the best of luck for you but PLEASE try to 1) remain confident in your application and 2) DON'T let the whole admissions process get to you mentally.
