YES. Also, St. Andrewโs in MD. |
| Why do so many Sidwell kids love University of Chicago? I donโt get it. So many ED0 ED1 or 2 there. |
Because they love Sidwell kids and they can get into Chicago even if they're outside of the top quarter of the class (sometimes down to the 50% point). I'm not saying that the kids listed this year are outside of the top quarter (I have no idea) but if you ED from Sidwell (or STA or NCS) and you ED0, ED1 or ED2 then they will take you with a fairly average GPA. |
Because Chicago is a very good school for most majors. And Chicago seems to like the full pay private school students in the early round. Chicago is a very different school today compared to the 90s. |
Because the listed private schools have a relationship with specific Chicago admissions officials and so the kids at those private schools are accepted more easily then from other schools. |
| Could someone please post MacArthur high school in DC? So curious! |

How about STA?

If youโre accustomed to being at the top of the heap, itโs probably a bit of a jolt if you have to drop down a notch, even if itโs to excellent schools like Cornell or Vanderbilt. Like it or hate it, you have to respect Chicagoโs academics. Going there is never having to feel intimidated by anybody, even HYPMS. โSomeone with zero connection to U of Chicago |
