[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only non-ED yield rates count. I hope it’s not too hard to comprehend.[/quote]

Why? Because you said so?

[b]If someone is applying ED, that’s a pretty strong signal they actually want to go to the school.[/b]

It’s the strongest signal possible.[/quote]
Or they know they have little chance for better schools. But I know it’s hard to argue with an idiot.[/quote]

You know it’s a strong argument when you resort to name calling.

It’s U Chicago, there aren’t that many “better” schools and [b]those that are higher ranked are lottery plays.[/b]

A high stats student could attend the excellent Chicago as a sure thing or bet that they can win the Yale lottery but forego any advantage with ED to Chicago.

Taking the Chicago deal seems like a smart play for most students. [/quote]
I can think of a dozen schools that are lower-ranked that are lottery plays. Ergo, Chicago is overrated. It is that simple. You can’t have your cake and eat it too….if it looks too good to be true….whatever cliche you want to use, this conclusion is inescapable. And yet the Chicago boosters claim otherwise, thinking they have done a brilliant run around the entire college admissions system.[/quote]

This may be shocking to you, but I don't care if the school is "overrated" on the USNWR. I care about the education and experience my kid receives. By that measure, Harvard is extraordinarily overrated, given that the undergrad experience frankly sucks.[/quote]

Did you go to Harvard to know that the undergrad experience frankly sucks?[/quote]

I know half a dozen H grads + another 4 with kids there now.[/quote]
