[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he loves both, he should try for the ED for Chicago, that will be a much easier admit than Georgetown (not that it will be easy). Georgetown's admit rate is extremely low for RE and RD. If it was on the Common App, it would be in the low single digits. I personally Chicago is just stutlifyingly boring with real nerdy strivers, where Georgetown has a greater variety of students and is a bit more grounded. (Yes, I have a kid at Georgetown, and didn't think any of this about Georgetown until I learned about it and experienced it). I have a nephew at Chicago and while I know it less well, I think my perception is pretty accurate.[/quote]

OP - I actually didn't see UC (DS visited with some friends), but of course everyone's heard the old trope about where fun goes to die. The challenge is that there's been no other schools other than GU that he liked as much as UC (except for Penn, which is a waste of an ED spot since he'll never get in). So...should he let UC go altogether and see where RD takes him? Or apply ED to Chicago and if he gets in, it was meant to be and he'll just have to be the king of nerds....[/quote]

the nerd thing is so dated. it's not an easy school tho, that's for real.[/quote]
