[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And another DC private sent 3 this year and all were in the top 10 percent of the class.

How is any of this answering OP’s question about actual experiences at UChicago?[/quote]

None. It's yet another opportunity for the U Chicago haters to bash the school. I'm still mystified as to what drives this person (or people, although it's mostly one person - her posts are so similar, it's very obvious).[/quote]

I posted HW stats above just because I have it handy and saw folks debating who gets in. I don’t hate Chicago and am not trying to bash it. I was a new poster. Will stop now - don’t want to fight. [/quote]

Sorry, don't believe you...it seems to be a HW UChicago obsession. To be honest, HW kids are probably a mix of sports and ED, does it say whether or not someone is an athlete? NO it doesn't. How many times do we have to say sports plays a big factor. If all our school's data was revealed bottom stats would be athlete, DEI and donor. Cannot just look at raw data.[/quote]

Actually Harvard Westlake specifically states that the admission stats excludes legacy, recruited athletes, etc.[/quote]

There is such variation by school. At our NYC school Cornell is the go-to for kids with middling stats. They can always get a sophomore admit if nothing else. And literally NO ONE gets into Vanderbilt, like ever. Why? Who knows.[/quote]

Cornell favors in-state kids.  On top of that, there are several contract colleges that take slightly lower stats.  Many NYC high schools (private or public) send a decent number of students there every year, this is well known.  Dyson, SEAS, CAS are more difficult admits even for NYC.[/quote]
