Sounds like your IQ.

#12th highest in the country is a compliment

Absolutely 👍
U Penn created the ED to get more kids that wanted to go to YHP, consider Penn

U Chicago locks in their applicants for the yield purpose.

Kid visited several Ivies also and chose to apply ED to UChicago. It was the best match.

99th percentile scores and a 4.7 GPA.

Now we need to see if FA comes through! Fingers crossed

They gave very generous packages !

It feels super risky to count on a giant instruction to he generous. We’re a full pay family who are really like “we can pay 60k” family.

Agreed. Wealth may work at HYP, where gettin in is easier a lot harder than getting out. But not Chicago.

WOW! 25% accepted students reject Yale?

[Anonymous]

*30%

[Anonymous]

Among 25% who reject Princeton and 30% who reject Yale, likely lot of donut hole students who don't get aid.

[Anonymous]

or ones who go for other top schools.

This is the direct reflection of an excellent admissions team

No, Chicago's high yield is the direct result of ED1 and ED2. It's hard NOT to have a high yield when you have both.

UPenn and Ivies invented ED back in the days and all sorts of tactics and the current cartel system.
it's the American system. Colleges using it to admit who actually has the highest interest in the school.

Applying ED to a school does not necessarily indicate you really want to go to a school. It means you will go but not that you want to go.

In that case, you have a simple remedy - don’t apply ED to the school. No one should apply ED to a school that is not their first choice.

UChicago has the Business Economics major for kids who cannot hack their regular majors. It might have some smart kids but it is no comparison to HYP. Our NYC private does sends a few to the school every year and most kids are above average but in no way brilliant or outstanding. Infact, top students rarely apply ED to UChicago.

SAT and GPA averages are equal to or higher than HYP. Only CalTech and MIT regularly beat UChicago on the numbers.

Are you the poster who said their 100 Nobel prizes don't count because Economics is quackery?

The three top students at our high school are going to MIT, UChicago and Yale. All ED / REA

UChicago has been test optional for a long time, so they can manipulate the average SAT scores stat. Once again UChcago is not in the same league as MIT. Nobody who gets into both would ever choose UChicago, the school avoids giving students a chance to make a choice between schools by having two ED rounds. MIT's and Yale's yields are accurate whereas UChicago's is manipulated. UChicago should publish its RD yield.
