Is CC skewing our view on college admissions?

In many cases, yes. The kids on CC are often among the best and brightest students applying to colleges in any given year, and are usually goal-oriented and competitive enough to spend their time on a website like this.

However, it’s not true to say that we always underestimate ourselves. I’m a freshman at an elite university now, and I can honestly say that my peers are just as smart and amazing as I thought they’d be.
