[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The ED acceptance rate is NOT 5%.   Whoever said that is a bald face liar.  Full stop.

You won't ever know the rates because Chicago intentionally keeps it a secret.

Q: What is the ED1 acceptance rate?
Justin: We do not publish admissions data on individual rounds. With four different rounds (EA, ED1, ED2, RD), the data can vary pretty widely from year to year so it just wouldn’t be useful. Some years it may be that high, some years it will be much lower, it really depends.

Q: Do you publish data on the percent of EA students who defer to ED2 who then get admitted?

We don't publish admissions data on individual rounds...but we have recently seen ED2 increase in popularity among first-time applicants and deferred students, and we generally balance our admitted students to reflect the pool overall in many ways.[/quote]

I was on at an in-person gathering for ED1 admits. This was discussed by many parents for a while. It was 5%. [/quote]

I believe that is an early admit figure but not strictly for ED1.  It is likely a combined figure for ED1 and EA, maybe ED2.  But, think about EA. Does anyone know a kid who got in EA? How many kuds apply EA? Tgat acceptance rate must be miniscule,  and, combined with ED, would net the 5%. ED is possibly 25-35%. No one knows because it is deliberately murky. The admissions office wants you to think that 5% is ED, but it's not. Think about other top ED school percentages and how much of the class U of C takes in ED. It's just not feasible that ED1 is 5% (unless they defer the bulk to ED2). [/quote]
