[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tufts is one.  
WF?
Tulane.[/quote]

Tulane, Tufts, Chicago are all in the "ED or bust" category.  Either much easier or much harder to get into than rankings indicate, depending how you apply.[/quote]

Wild differences between these. I literally don’t know anyone that has been rejected from Tulane. Uchicago uber hard and WF middle of the road.[/quote]

Agree Chicago is the most difficult admit.

But it is also school dependent.  Horace Mann sends a large drove to Chicago each year.  At these feeders, an average student can get in ED.
At non-feeder high schools, yes it can be "uber hard".[/quote]

In fairness, Horace Mann is one of the most rigorous HS in the country (I don't have a child there), widely known for grade deflation. Even an average student there is still a top student.[/quote]

I agree that it is very schools dependent for Chicago.  For example, Harvard Westlake sent 16 kids last year to University of Chicago (and presumably others got in since 70 others went to top 15 schools).  Its class averages about 260 students.  [/quote]
