Takeaway: if it’s your DC’s dream, don’t listen to some moms here. 1530 is enough if you apply ED0. Don’t get intimidated.

The median SAT score for UChicago last year was 1540 (according to the common dataset). The mean SAT score for ED0 is 1530. I suspect the median this year (across all rounds) will be similar to last year.

Of course, 1530 is sufficient for UChicago or any other T10 school. My own kid got 35 on ACT on first try and stopped there. No point in wasting their time on more testing. That said, it’s delusional to think that 1530 (insert your favorite number) ensures acceptance to UChicago (or any other T10 school).

I guess my kid's 36 was not much to write home about, ED0, honestly people, didn't Y accept a 1370 last year, and she was bragging about it on social media??

But HYP are a different tier. They are unicorns not to be bound by test scores or gpa.

Peer schools: Penn Duke JHU average 1550. 1530 is low.

I think the average is lower now that it's test required at those schools. Have any of the schools released data from the currently freshman class of 2029?

Oops. Those schools were all test optional for the class of 2029. Curious to find out what Dartmouth and Harvard's scores are since they went back to test required for class of 2029. Brown released their scores - 1480-1560 for the middle 50%.

No
For the Brown Class of 2029 (100% test required for every student last year (so athletes, low scorers included), the average SAT score was approximately 1530 and the average ACT score was 35, making it the first class to require standardized test scores since the Class of 2024. In terms of score ranges, the 25th to 75th percentile for SAT scores was 1520 to 1560, and for ACT, it was 34 to 35.

For the Brown Class of 2028, the middle 50% of admitted students who submitted SAT scores had a range of 34–35 for the ACT composite score, and for SAT scores, they ranged from 760–800 in Math and 740–770 in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing.

So still very high even after going test required -but slightly lowered.

Curious if you have a cite for this? IPEDS and CDS have not been released; only student responded polls (not exactly the most reliable source).

Where did you get this data? I'm the PP you're responding to, and yes, Brown was test required for class of 2029 (which is what was implied from my post above...) and on their website it says that the middle 50% is 1480-1560. https://admission.brown.edu/explore/brown-admission-numbers

If you have conflicting data for the class of 2029 from another source, please share

Thank you for responding, but the OP bolded that. I'm interested in the cite for the test mandatory 2029 period.

And how many ED0 admits are there? 10? 100? 1,000?

Weird post.

+1 Weird is one way of putting it. No data cited. No explanation of which school the quoted AO is from.

The CDS hasn't been released yet for class of 2029 (as you stated above). The only source I can find is Brown's website: https://admission.brown.edu/explore/brown-admission-numbers

So for Brown, since it went test mandatory, for ADMITTED students, not ENROLLED (big difference obviously), 25% of their freshman class had below a 1480. Most likely for enrolled students it will be 1460ish.

The universe is healing.

Yes, it is healing. I would like to see Dartmouth's numbers.

I hope nobody listens to the hysterical posters who claim you have to have perfect everything or don’t bother. They don’t know what they are talking about.

Frankly to me, 1530 for Chicago ED0 sounds high. Who would commit so early to a school in several financial troubles and give up all other options if they were a highly qualified candidate? Most top students do merit-based free programs summer before senior year.

My high stats kid (and many friends with similar stats who attended the weeklong enrichment program) committed to UChicago through ED0. The average SAT number (1533 to be precise) was provided by Dean Nondorf during the zoom event for accepted students.

Did they mention how many were admitted through ED0? Thank you.
