[b]U Chicago should not be on this list[/b] as almost all are admitted binding ED (ED 0, ED 1, or ED 2). Yield, therefore, is a non-issue beyond the fact that it is not closer to 100%.[/quote]

“Almost everyone who goes to this school commits to attend before being admitted” means that’s it’s the #1 choice of a shitload of kids, pal.

The choice counts, the choice is significant because it’s being made BEFORE they even know if they are admitted.

Applicants are literally saying yes BEFORE they submit their application.

As they say in economics, REVEALED PREFERENCE. [/quote]

Put another way way, Chicago is full of kids who don’t have the confidence they could get into an Ivy[/quote]

Or got scared after being denied on deferred from their real first choice.  [/quote]
