you can look at last year's and see how many kids submitted vs how many in the class

So you are confirming at least 8 have been admitted ED at Sidwell and are headed to Chicago this fall?

Yes. I am a new poster, but can confirm at least 7 from Sidwell (total of ED and ED2) to Chicago this year

That’s great! So maybe just shy of 10% of the class? It’s a shame previous posters say things like it’s not for the “tippy top” students. I think some posters lose sight of how malicious they are sounding about kids…and ironically I’m sure some of the posters’ children go to school with these kids. Again, congrats to Sidwell.

The group that has been accepted ED and ED2 is a very strong group.

Perhaps but not tippy top.

True except that stats needed for HYPS have gotten so fuzzy as to make this distinction fuzzy as well.

Not sure what you mean by tippy-top, but, generally, super top stats. Equivalent to those accepted at HYPSM.

At our school it is those who are below the HYP level who are willing to apply to Chicago EDI or II.

And in fact we see that group of parents complaining about Chicago RD, but not ED. What we see for ED is a big group of satisfied private school parents telling us that their children applied ED and were accepted. Which suggests that the ED rate is pretty high, at least if you have certain stats and are applying from certain high schools, so that the application process from those schools is pleasantly predictable.

At our private ED+ED2 has close to 70 percent success rate at Chicago. Self selected group of students applying obviously.

Also 1 or 2 EA

Not buying that. PP said ED. So, if you know the different kids applying in different tiers, then you'd know how many were EA if there are any.

I find this hard to believe considering that most privates and a lot of publics do not rank.

kids with 1550+, maybe 2 Bs in 4 years, and all the EC and sports money can buy. Plus full pay. That's tippy top for America.

It’s probably 99% of early admits who submitted class rank were in the top 10% of the class.

Yes. SCOIR breaks down EA vs ED vs Ed2 vs RD

Ha ha. Yes, that is a big difference.

Round here it breaks down like this for private kids with very good grades and scores

HYPSM — verging on impossible

Brown, Columbia, Duke — very tough

Dartmouth — tough but possible

Chicago ED or ED2 — possible

But wouldn’t this be the same issue with any of the top colleges (or any college)? They can only use the stats of those submitting ranks. So I guess what you are saying is essentially it’s a useless data point on the CDS.

Where is "round here". Asking for context.

At our private, there is considerable overlap. HYP /possibles & hopefuls slide into ED (ED2) to avoid the risk of a non-T10 outcome and so on.
