It is common to use "rare" when saying about the "chances" or "possibilities"? Is there any other words I can use instead of "rare"?

It is not common to use "rare" when talking about "chances" or "possibilities". The more common expressions are "the chances are small" and "the chances are slim". Ex: The chances of it raining today are small. Ex: The chances are slim that you will get accepted into that university.
