<p>I'd say that the people who visit CC and read the posts represent the top 50% of the college bound students (people in the top 50% of their class, 1000+ SAT, few low level leaderships and sports), but most of the people that post are in the top 50% of those that apply to top schools.<br>
I did searches for last years acceptees to CU and a few other top schools at prstats and found that most people had 1400+, top 10 % (if not val or sal) and major EC's (just like everyone on here that posts, for the most part) and 30%-50% got accepted. If that is representative of all top schools and their applicants, then I am very happy. I'll take 30% over 10% or lower any day.</p>
<p>We need to have everyone post if they get accepted or not, for RD as well as ED, to see how we match up against the rest of the applicants. Although I think our will naturally be higher because some won't want to say that they got rejected. But I won't be afraid when I am.</p>
