[quote=Anonymous][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]

I don't think you need to worry about your top 20% DC from DMV private going to Chicago.  It's not about making you feel insecure, or specifically targeting DMV Chicago kids.

The point is their ED practice is .. controversial .. to say the very least.[/quote]

So here is the part I don’t get: why do you care about UChicago admission practices? If you don’t like it, move on and apply to one of the other schools. Honest  question. (I just cannot imagine caring so much about a school in which DC is not interested.) [/quote]
