Is CC skewing our view on college admissions?

Is everyone who applies to the ivies, top privates, and top public sreally as qualified as everyone on CC says they are? I know we are competing against each other many people who apply to top schools are usually very qualified, but are we better off than we think? I mean before I started going to CC I thought, “Well, I’ll probably go to (insert top school)” but now I’m disillusioned. Compared to everyone else at my school I have the highest stats (I go to a bad public school) so I guess I’m just in a small pond.

Are we underestimating ourselves in the admissions process?
