UCHICAGO SUMMER STUDENT EARLY NOTIFICATION

I have already seen friends/families post two Wake ED admissions in the past 3 weeks and multiple recruited athlete postings over the summer; what is the big deal on posting ED Chicago ?

Any more ED0 acceptances? DC’s school insta has a bunch of kids going to other schools but nobody to UChicago yet.

A junior at our school has already posted her acceptance to Duke to play Lacrosse.

The process for recruited athletes is entirely different.

Might also have been a likely letter rather than an acceptance.

I know of one student who did the summer program and applied ED 0. Very strong student. Put on the waitlist.

ED 0 is not a significant advantage over ED 1, but it does allow a student to hear back sooner and therefore gives essentially three shots at ED to three different schools.

Most kids will get much more of a leg up on college admissions by working at McDonald's or lifeguarding full time for the summer. It will also teach many more relevant life lessons than taking a "college course" in a protected environment.

I hear “get a job over a pay-to-play summer program” everywhere. However, the kids I know last cycle that got into top 20 schools ALL did a summer program. 100% of them. These are not highly competitive, free programs either. Just the regular Brown, Georgetown, NYU, USC type programs. It makes me think colleges like these as it shows intellectual curiosity or rigor or something.

Our private college admissions coach said that the summer between sophomore and junior year was THE time to do a college program and study for SAT. The summer after junior year is for working that job in the community and college apps. Volunteer both summers.

It makes sense.

Jealousy.

No one is jealous about wake forest or being a recruited athlete.

Waitlisted? Heard it was only accept or reject for ED0

Does UChicago publish their ED information somewhere? It will be intersesting to see what the social demographics of those admitted ED0 are.

No, they don't publish. Typically, some ED numbers are leaked by the admissions dean at accepted student events.

Have not seen anything on UChicago’s site saying the SSEN ED is a straight up or down response.

It makes no sense that UChicago would not use the option to defer with EA0.

We know a girl who was accepted to Chicago with this summer program ED0. She’s a NMSF from rural North Dakota, which I imagine isn’t a common profile. She needs financial aid but spent time with Chicago’s aid office before applying. Also if she is a NMF, ND gives you $20,000 per year to use at any college.

But you think people are jealous of going to the school where fun dies?
