[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yawn. Just games. UChicago takes nearly their ENTIRE class ED. They are not transparent in the CDS about these numbers but people in the industry know and have shared publicly. That is how they have such a high yield rate. I’m sure their RD yield rate is way below those schools Chicago would like to think are their peers.  If they took half as many as they do in the Early rounds (like the lower ivies that do ED, Duke, JHU, Northwestern…) they’d have an even lower yield than those schools. UChicago is a marketing machine because another part of their strategy to appear more selective is “recruit to reject”. They also utiiize ED3 (aka waitlist and “z” list” like no other). I don’t doubt that the students they admit have high academic credentials, but their tactics are shady and pretty pathetic especially for such a good school. [/quote]

+1 they should try doing what Columbia and Duke do by only taking 40% of the class through ED and see what happens[/quote]
