[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sure it is a great school, but I just can't think of UChicago in the same category as other T20 because of the shady games they play with ED0, ED1, ED2 and ED3 (aka waitlist - z list) and manipulation of yield with zero transparency. Neither of my kids who ended up at HYPSM would even consider applying to UChicago primarily because of this. [/quote]

They are a good school. If they want to be a great school, then they need to be more transparent and also get rid of forcing everyone to do some form of ED. [/quote]

Except they are already a great school. Schools are far more than their rounds of admissions.[/quote]

Can’t say that it is great if they need to resort to these practices and force students to ED. Ivy’s, Duke etc. don’t do that. [/quote]

UChicago doesn’t force anyone to apply, much less ED. If you wish to attend, your best option is to apply ED. Why is this so offensive to people? Again, my DC is HYPSM-bound so I truly don’t have a dog in this fight, but many of his summer program cohorts loved their experience at UChicago enough to ED0. They also got the aid they needed.[/quote]

Why do they have EA and RD then? To get some application fee from the students that maybe will help them with their financial troubles?

[/quote]

Because their system works for them. If it doesn’t work for some students, then those students can choose not to apply. Scoir at DC’s school clearly shows that the vast majority of admitted students get in ED, and very rarely an EA or RD applicant does too. DC considered this information and opted out of applying altogether, but didn’t vilify the school as some people here are.[/quote]

Staying the facts about their admission practices is vilifying?[/quote]
