<p>I think this site has a lot of people who comprise a nice selection of the real top tier students. There’s so many people who are just obsessed with the notion of getting into the top colleges, and it takes a certain type of person to seek out a site like this.</p>
<p>That said, I remember a post a while back by people who were collating admissions results, and the overall CC acceptance rate was, I seem to recall, quite similar to the overall acceptance rate of the whole population. Maybe it was a little higher, but not by much.</p>
<p>I know there has to be a lot of superb applicants who are not members here, so I guess there’s a lot of people out there who are also super selective. It’s not like all 22,000 Yale applicants are members here.</p>
