Is ED 0 a real thing?

[Anonymous]

How does it work? And aside from University of Chicago, which other schools use this?

Wake Forest

What is that?

It’s just like ED, but it happens even earlier than the standard November 1 ED deadline, so that if you’re denied you still have an ED1 card to play.

And, at least for Chicago (I don’t know about Wake or others) it’s restricted to students who attended the school’s summer pre-college program, so it’s a more select group of applicants to start with and it’s very pay to play.

I suppose that goes along with it, but I just meant it was a smaller group restricted only to attendees of the summer program.

yes.

So much misinformation here. DC attended a week-long enrichment program during the summer. The cost was 2.5k and completely covered by UChicago (based on household income). That made it possible to apply ED0. Accepted.

There are fgli kids at the Chicago summer camps, but more of them from rich private schools. Many are mediocre.

Great example of an uninformed, sweeping generalization masquerading as fact
