Most private schools do not rank and many public schools also do not rank. So thr 90% number is for those students whose schools does calculate a rank (which could be less than 50% of schools).

But could be more…

48% submitted rank. It's on the CDS and also on this page a few posts up.

I believe the OP was looking for statistics provided by the school so that’s what has been provided by PP.

Shouldn't you go back to trolling the Northeastern thread? What type of person just hates on a school. It is a school for crikes sake. Harboring such animosity cannot be healthy.

It’s not hating on a school to say it has a 30-40% acceptance rate. Heck, Chicago’s RD acceptance rate used to be much higher than that, back when the applicant pool was much smaller. But everyone understood they had sky-high standards (which is why so few students applied), and the school was extremely well-regarded. Acceptance rate tells you little to nothing about the quality of a school.

Which year’s CDS states this?

That’s why a previous poster provided data from this year’s admissions so u don’t need to speculate.

The previously posted data doesn't differentiate between EA and ED. At our NJ Public school the EA rate is 5 percent, ED rate is 33 percent, RD rate is 2 percent.

Very, bless your heart. Where does it say acceptance rate 30-40%? And majority of students are unranked? Ppl r stating very specific numbers and percentages so I am glad it’s all there.

And all but one kid accepted ED had 3.8 UW or above. All but one kid accepted ED had 1490 or above. (I assume the one with a 25 ACT applied TO.)

I’m the one who posted 30-40%. As I said in my original comment, it’s from the Harvard-Westlake data for unhooked students with GPAs of 3.9-4.3.

Unhooked Harvard-Westlake students with higher GPAs are accepted at a noticeably lower rate. That inversion (where more qualified students are less likely to be accepted) is true of a number of other ED schools, but none so highly ranked as Chicago.

We’re all guessing based on the partial information available from different high schools, because Chicago evidently believes it’s in its own best interest to hide this data.

What data is it hiding compared to other schools? Chicago recently released a CDS and provided admission stats for this year. What additional data is it hiding that other schools give a breakdown for?

Don’t buy it. Too high. Think it is a mistake and the CDS isn’t filled out completely anyhow. It is also a year behind other schools, which have long since released 2022-2023. For example, WashU is 27% in 2021-2022, and Johns Hopkins 2022-2023 is 25%.

No way Chicago is 1/2 that only…
