[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year the Chicago admissions dean makes the admitted % number public. Since 2021, at the welcome conference call for admitted students and their families in February, the ED/EA rate has been well below 10%. Not certain why someone keeps saying 40% without any source for the assertion, but that is false. [/quote]

I don't understand why you don't understand the math. The freshman class is about 1,600. The reported yield is an astounding 88%, well above Harvard and MIT, meaning at least 75% of enrolled students were likely locked in through Early Decision (possibly higher but let's just say 75%). So it's fair to assume 1,200 students are admitted via ED.

Now, you do have to make assumptions about the number of Chicago ED applicants, which surprise surprise is not reported on their CDS. Northwestern gets 5K ED applicants. JHU gets 7k. I would personally be surprised if Chicago comes near those #'s given its reputation for quirkiness, weird essays, etc, but let's say they get 5k in total (ED1/ED2). That's a 25% admit rate, which probably breaks down into 30% ED1 and 20% ED2.

So yes, 40% may be an exaggeration, but depending how many ED applicants they actually get, might not be. One thing is for sure, there's no way it's below 10%. Hope this helps.[/quote]
