[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid is high stats (2nd-3rd decile) but unhooked, expect for the admissions officers to heavily encourage him to ED1 to UChicago. They're the one T15 that gives prep schools a measurable advantage. [/quote] Yes, true. But U Chi is not popular among students for some reasons. [/quote] UChicago has an overtly "intellectual" atmosphere, and students tend to want balance, especially after surviving pressure cooker private schools. This is why Vandy, Penn, USC, and Duke have surged in popularity in recent years. UChicago also is very popular. It is the #1 most-matriculated school nowadays with almost every prep school. The Admissions Officers have recognized the UChicago pipeline is real and they're directing their "strong, but not top" unhooked students to take advantage of it. [/quote]
