This is my first post and I would like to begin by thanking the community for sharing it's application strategies and GMAT prep advice (my exam date is March 2nd, applying to b-school next fall). I look forward to contributing content in a near future.
The purpose of the post is purely rhetorical on the basis of the following question: "If no underlying pattern seems to exude with regards to applicant profiles and relative admits (GPA, GMAT, WE, EC, LOR, etc.), then why do applicants continue to ask for profile evaluations, probability of admit, a mindset "I have no chance...." etc." In other words, we often see "near perfect" (on paper) applications with respect to many criteria, yet fail to be admitted and in contrast, find individuals with non-traditional stats make the cut. Who knows, maybe the domestic/international student who has good grades (perhaps not great) but a coherent, accessible and inspirational story/application be admitted to a top program.
So, why do you think we put so much pressure on ourselves and place importance on what others may think?

I think people submit their stats for profile evaluation to get other people's views/opinions.
1) It's a good way to identify your target/reach/safety schools and etc.
2) You can get unbiased views of third party. You might not give yourself honest opinion due to your own interests, preference and other factors. For example, a person might think he/she is a h/s/w material but others might not see it that way. Vice-versa, some people (with unusual job exp such as military officer etc) might be convinced that they can't get into h/s/w - but others might see it differently.
3) Others have more experience and relative information to make decisions based on your profile.
One of the basic value of being a Gclub member is our ability to SHARE.
By sharing your own profile for others to review and vice versa (contribute your opinion on other profiles), you are helping each other through this tough bschool application process.
After all, everything is easier when you are doing something with others - trying to accomplish something by yourself is lonely and difficult.

I think the purpose of people asking for evaluations is to get more perspectives.
It's not that each applicant would agree with the opinion of others anyway.
He/she usually would have a rough guess at first of where they can go.
Everybody is a unique applicant, but maybe he/she is just trying to see how their numbers (stuff that can be judged objectively) matchup. That's all...no pressure hoho.
