[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Genuinely confused why UChicago is the subject of so much controversy on DCUM. DC didn’t apply for college, but attended one of UChicago’s fully funded (not pay-to-play) high school enrichment programs which had an 11% acceptance rate. Multiple ED0 applicants (and admits) from DC’s cohort because UChicago truly was their first choice college. At least one dorm mate received a full ride to boot.[/quote]

I'll say this til the cows come home - many mistakenly regard UChicago as a backup... dare I even say... a safety... for their kids who they think have a decent shot at HYPSM+Ivy. 
So when their kids ED or EDII and get rejected, then SUUUUUURRREEEELLLLY that rejection was because of misleading/shady/deceptive practices by the school. It stings harder than a rejection from HYPSM. How dare you UChicago reject my kid when you are a mere tier or two or three below what my kid really deserves?!

TL;DR- It's when you think you're punching down and then get denied. It's entitlement.[/quote]
