<p>Some people (myself included) suspect that the kids on CC are not a true reflection of the RL BS applicant pool in that CC'ers tend to be more motivated and high achievers. I also think that minorities (non-caucasians) have bigger presence, and that more girls than boys visit CC regularly. Can you take a poll in answering three simple questions?</p>
<ol>
<li>Are you male or female?</li>
<li>Are you: A. Asian; B. Black; C. Caucasion; D. Hispanic; D. Other (American Indian, mixed race, etc.); </li>
<li>Do you think you are considered an international student by US boarding schools? Specify your nationality if you can.</li>
</ol>
<p>Your assessment would be largely applicable for the bulk of College Confidential (the college part). However, as the BS applicant pool is self motivated to begin with, it is safe to say most of your competition in the applicant pool is as good, if not better, than the CC pool.</p>
