<p>I estimate there are about 4000 currently active high school seniors on CC. Each year millions of students around the world apply to colleges in the US. Assuming that these 4000 represent, on average, the top 5% students around the world (based on SAT scores, ECs, GPA, etc., and my own biases), there are still sooooooo many unknowns. CC is, in every way, an academic powerhouse, a legion of students who compete with each other to enrich their own academic lives.</p>
<p>In other words, most CCers are just too fantastic to believe they’re human. Don’t let CC get you down ;)</p>
