They are not going to be ultra-rares.
They are going to be "N7 operatives"--which does not mean "N7 rare". It's a lore term, for human special forces.
They are, likely, going to be "more powerful than the previous characters"(humans at least) because they will be rares versus the starter humans you have.
It's just the rumors that's been flying around. Obviously, it could be completely wrong. Just hope we get some confirmation on this soon.
Yes, and the rumors are based upon nothing but speculation.
So basically, ignore it.

And really, humans should be the most numerous of all the characters.
The old races are on the decline, for all intents and purposes, and
humanity is the rising power.
Doesn't mean the other races are extinct now does it? And last I checked Earth was one of the most devastated home planets from the Reaper attacks (second to Thessia and Kar'shan), so I really don't see how this would make humans more numerous when races like the Geth or Krogan could potentially be even bigger in number depends on your choices.
Earth is one of the most devastated home planets from the Reaper attacks, but the Alliance did not have the majority of their forces present guarding the home world like the Asari or Turians did.
Humanity as well is the only race which actually
pulled back from their home world to conserve their forces and regroup for a counterstrike. It's not until far later in the game that you see the Turians follow the human lead--and then only at Garrus' insistence that the Crucible is far more important than bloodying the Reapers' noses.
Of course lore aside (which wasn't really the basis of my problems anyhow), I just personally feel that with a universe full of exotic species, choosing more humans just makes things a whole lot less interesting. If you like it, then fine. For me though, I'm just slowly losing interest, making the the first DLC I have no hype for.
What exotic species though? There's not going to be more species added, in all likelihood. We're not going to see Yog Soldiers or any of the more out there choices that people have clamored for.
Heck, I would be surprised if we see any more Drell characters or Vorcha characters, etc. The choices that we have received thus far are simply the "iconic" characters of those races. We have the biotic assassins in the Drell Vanguards/Adepts, we have the Asari biotic commandos in the Vanguard/Adept and the more "specialist" version of them in the Asari Justicar, we have the Geth Hunter and the "regular" Geth soldiery in the form of the Engineer(who is based upon Legion minus the Geth Shield Matrix), we have the Salarian Infiltrator/Engineer, etc etc.
