You are in touch with your kind of people, the kind who graduate from university.
If you were doing a PhD you were at the kind of university that has a PhD programme. Probably it was one of the 200 or so US universities out of a thousand that are selective, rejecting more students than they accept. I doubt there was a single student in your seminar who wasn’t in the top 30% by academic aptitude of their age group.
