[quote=Anonymous]Yes, that’s probably the optimal strategy for prestige whores who believe that UChicago is approximately as prestigious as at least some of the HYPS schools. It would involve being willing to commit to UChicago before knowing whether any of the other three SCEA schools would admit you in the RD round. But, honestly, unless the applicant (I can’t tell whether the prestige whore is a kid or parent) affirmatively wants to go to UChicago (i.e. it’s his or her first or second choice school and that preference is based on an understanding of Chicago’s schedule, Core requirements, and rigor), then it’s probably not a good plan. HYPS schools and a number of other elites have something for everybody. Chicago is more like MIT. Some people would love it. Others would be miserable there. I say this as a big UChicago (and MIT) fan. (As well as an alumn of 2 of the SCEA schools).[/quote]
