At DD's school, it seems like Northwestern became more popular for undergrad. Maybe they like the fact that you get to go to a safe, suburban campus and then when you want you can venture into the city to enjoy what Chicago has to offer. Maybe was seen as "more fun" that UChi for awhile?

Yes, UChicago has been actively trying to work against their “where fun goes to die” reputation as it negatively affects the school by turning away applicants and decreasing yield.

No worries. By getting middle of the pack private school students ED0 through ED3, I am certain it will positively affects the reputation.

I understand how frustrating it must be to have your kid rejected from UChicago.

can't be rejected if you never were interested or applied in the first place!

Academic rigor and the core curriculum usually scare away shallow SAHMs like you.

why do you assume I'm female or that I don't work outside the home? further, why do you imply either of those two things are negative?

You were hate posting at 3am, for one. No employed person does that nor cares that much about bashing a school.
