<p>Yes, and it also occurs to me that the cc bias towards overachievers (as against the overall population of candidates over the threshhold) may particularly skew the % acceptance statistic. In other words, cc participants in the “pool” may be more likely as a group to have outstanding subjective elements relative to their non cc counterparts. On the other hand, perhaps the reverse is true, since spending a lot of time of cc may get in the way of developing outstanding EC’s. :)</p>
