<p>I have been on here for a couple months, and the majority of the students that I see on here have incredible/unbelievable gpa's, EC's, test scores, etc. Are most of the students out there going to be like the CC'ers on here?</p>
<p>No .</p>
<p>CC represents mostly students among the best and the brightest. </p>
<p>I discovered CC only when thinking about graduate school because, as an undergraduate, due to my local situation (vs. my own grades, ECs) I could have chosen to go anywhere local for undergrad in the field I wanted, apply to one of them and it was as painless an application cycle as it was possible to make it painless.</p>
<p>Let me put it this way, the average student gets around a 1500 on the SAT, 20 on the ACT, and has an UW GPA of 2.9 or 3.1. Most of them opt to go to a cheap, local state school (includes community colleges) if they go to college. Around 20% go to any type of private school, and the ones college bounds seniors flock to are likely not ones you’ve ever heard of.
I believe, and I could well be wrong that state flagships and the top 50 USNWR national universities educate around 10% of the college population. If that’s true, 90% of students are headed to the likes of Georgia Perimeter College, Kennedsaw State, and Young Harris, rather than the Georgia Techs and Emories of this world.</p>
<p>Yah CC’ers are a bunch of try hards lol :dodgy:</p>
<p>Lol<br>
