Based on the timeline of the instagram posts, 3 from Sidwell got in Chicago ED0, 7 got in Chicago ED1, 2 got in Chicago ED2 (or these just posted late).
Chicago RD admits are strong applicants who often also got ivy acceptance. |

They take a lot ED who know they are not quite ivy level They waitlist all ivy types in RD then immediately the following week ot two start networking calling private schools and making verbal offers to admit the their top pick off the waitlist if and only if that person would pick them over any options they get on ivy day. Many have better options and say no thanks. This continues for weeks moving lower down their list until class ls full. |

And you’re commenting on this thread, why? |

Previous poster isn't reading the acceptances correctly. 2 posted since RD released. Who knows when they were actually admitted. Also, RD at Chicago is not impossible if you are coming from a top private like Sidwell. I know a few kids who were admitted RD from another top private. They are strong students but not very top of the class or anything. |

| So many people here who “know” all of these things about other kids. You’re either full of it or creepily involved in a bunch of minors’ lives. |

Urban schools are more popular these days than remote or rural schools. Columbia is a bit of a pariah, so it stands to reason why kids are choosing Chicago.
When I went to a private school decades ago, there were 10+ classmates who went to each of Yale, Harvard, penn and Michigan. I fail to see the issue here. |

It’s helpful to me to see what UChicago is doing nationally with private high schools. And you’re refereeing this thread, why? |

| A lot of these kids can afford the summer program and then get in because of that. I personally know of a couple. |

This they need rich kids to supplement the high stats kids. |

You do know that urban schools would include Harvard, MIT, UPenn, Northwestern, Yale, UCLA, USC, Brown…I am likely skipping over a bunch. BTW, Columbia isn’t a pariah…they received a shit ton of applications like they always do. |

They know the Sidwell kids will perform well.
They know they will pay the $98K current cost of attendance. No-brainer. |
