How can UChicago which is a small school that accepts a mix of Test and TO beat UCB and UCLA which are huge and 100% test blind?

Maybe they don’t “beat”?

I am asking why the PP listed UChicago higher, that is why they beat out UCB and UCLA on the metric of "who accepts the most kids TO".

I'm not sure how PP is measuring "the most".

Are they saying that it's percentage TO? Then UCB/UCLA would be at the top since 100% of their kids are TO, unless you think of TB as different in which case they're 0% and don't belong on the list.

Or are they saying it's the number of kids accepted TO, in which case obviously the bigger schools accept more.

I'm not saying that UCB beats or doesn't beat Chicago on any other metric than the one this thread isa bout.

Chicago scores were not mandatory pre-Covid

This shows how TO has warped perceptions of what is a “good” score. So many threads arguing that only 1500+ belong AND can do well at these schools. 🙄🤔

+10

Bumping up for new poster looking for TO options…

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to see the % of successful TO applicants at these schools by region?
Also public v private high school?

Who would have this data?
