[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the arguments about their actual ED acceptance rate rely on hypothetical info, since they don't release actual stats. So here's a question: Do you actually know anyone who was REJECTED by Chicago in the early decision round? (not EA - binding ED).
At our school 4/5 known ED applicants were accepted (and the 5th was deferred). This suggests a possibly insanely high ED accept rate - like 80%. 
I think due to Chicago's reputation and location there is a certain amount of self-selection, but still. [/quote]

I know a number of kids rejected ED1, including one of the top kids at our DCs' school with no class rankings. If you are a lifer at an independent and the kid is in top classes, those kids pretty much know where everyone "ranks" in that group. The kid seemed like a shoo-in (have a sib who attended Chicago so I've seen it up close), so was shocking. Kid ended up at the Ivy one of their parents attended. Kid picked Chicago thinking it was a safer ED chance than the parents' Ivy alma maters, then ended up being admitted to both in RD.

Also know kids rejected who attended publics in what might be seen as geographically desirable locations.[/quote]
