[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UChicago needs to scrap its ED and go back to its original status as a niche school for kids who enjoy that level of academic/intellectual intensity. [/quote]

No, they need the $95k private school kids and the top ones aren't applying.

Honest question: why do you hate UChicago so much?

My top 10 percent, NMSF, 1590 SAT kid is excited about attending. UChicago was always the top choice. Loved writing the quirky essay. Their older friends, who are at UChicago now, went there with similar stats and love it. It’s a hard school for non-business Econ majors. No grade inflation. [/quote]

I am sorta fascinated by the UChicago hater. S/he has a level of personal vendetta that goes above and beyond. Truly curious to understand this person's motivation.[/quote]

DP. The so-called “Chicago hater” is correct that Chicago does not have enough money to drop ED. Or to revert to test-mandatory, for that matter.

They’re wrong when they imply that top private-school students don’t apply. The whole situation works because the kids who are “top students” from Chicago’s POV don't have the hooks to be “top students” from the POV of other T10 schools.[/quote][/quote]

And she is just silly to think HPY still have extremely high standards and are filled with 1590s. The girl who got into Yale on TikTok bragging about her 1370, and all the athletes we know and DEI there do NOT have 1540s all around by ANY stretch, GIVE IT A REST.[/quote]
