[quote=Anonymous]It’s sort of sad/hilarious that a lot of people are only recently discovering UChicago. It’s always been an exceptional school, and people who know anything about academia know that. Acceptance rate means nothing. My sister and I were both accepted to UChicago from top prep schools. We both saw high stats kids get rejected from UChicago (at a time when UChicago had a 30% acceptance rate) because they weren’t the type of kid UChicago wanted. UChicago cared much less about SAT/ACT score back then; instead, they wanted kids who really craved an intense academic experience. I think my sister was one of the only kids to get into UChicago from Horace Mann in the prior 2-3 admissions cycles. In any case, I feel like UChicago has lost some of the idiosyncrasy that made it special. They never should have started accepting the Common App. [/quote]
