[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago (ranked #3) is uber selective due to its high yield rate (86%). Also its retention rate is high and graduation rate is high. Overall a top-notch school.[/quote] No. Chicago has a high yield rate because of ED0 (summer ED), ED1,ED2. 80% of the incoming class is through ED. That is not comparable to other tip top privates with one ED round that accounts for half or just less than half the class. [/quote] That says Chicago is so popular that so many high caliber kids love to go there and are 100% sure Chicago is the best place. And Chicago has to open up 80% of the class to ED applicants, or they risk losing the best intellectuals to peer schools.[/quote] Yes, this is one way to interpretat the result. High caliber students may still think Harvard is better but not significantly so that it's not worth giving it a small chance, and it's better to increase chance at UChicago.[/quote]
