[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On Reddit the description of kids who state that the were rejected from UChicago ED1 seem  very impressive.  Yes UChicago has all the EDs but I think it’s still hard to get into tha school [/quote]

I think that's exactly why their EDs practice is problematic: corrupted and non-transparent.  We see that they took 3.2 gpa kids from Harvard Westlake.

I really want to show you the 3.2 GPA/1280 SAT athletes getting into Princeton and Brown from our local DMV school. (Average GPA is around 3.8). Would you call these schools “corrupted and non-transparent”? [/quote]

HW 3.2 gpa kids are unhooked, not recruits.[/quote]

I understand that. But the 3.2 HW unhooked is as relevant for DMV as being an athletic recruit. From our DMV private, UChicago takes only top 10-20 percent with SAT/ACT range of 1520-1580/34-36. [/quote]
Harvard Westlake has 250 kids per grade much larger than NCS or Sidwell, many are lifers.  
A 3.2 unhooked kid at Harvard Westlake is not going to be a life of the mind type of kids.  
Chicago takes many of this kind from private schools.  [/quote]
