[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may  be a naive question, but has UChicago ever addressed why that information i is left blank on the common data set?  Like is it an oversight?  Is it purposeful?[/quote]

Good question. Has the admissions dean addressed this?[/quote]
Folks, Chicago is notorious for this. Has been for years. Nothing new here. I get that many posters are new here but, no, it is not an oversight that can be cured by a phone call. Nor is it an oversight that, until last year, Chicago had never even published a CDS.

Even their 5% acceptance rate between ED1 and EA (still no cite) is obfuscatory gobbledygook. The main purpose of Chicago EA is and has long since been to defer kids and get them to commit to ED2. Couple that with ED1 deferrals and we are not talking about a 95% rejection rate. We are talking about a 5% acceptance rate and (who knows?) a 60% deferral rate…[/quote]

The 5% was cited earlier in the thread. Dean of Admissions at an Accepted Students event for this current year. [/quote]
It’s not a 5% acceptance rate: the rate will change significantly upward once deferrals and ED2 conversions are accounted for. So even this “5%” reveal is of questionable transparency. Chicago well knows it will be wrongly interpreted to make it seem more competitive at ED1 than it is.[/quote]

Obviously, no one is making that claim. It was clearly posted on this thread it was for EA and ED1. Maybe the ED2 rate is out now??[/quote]
