[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend's kid was rejected. He was extremely high stats and wildly nice and accomplished. And a man. I guess the admission guy replied after a "WTF" query and said this year they had more applicants than last year, which was the most ever. T[b]he hating on UChicago on this board is legendary, and I guess it's because it's a school for actual smart kids, or something, but it is really, really hard to get in.[/b] [/quote] [b]I said this before on another thread and I think it's because most people consider UChicago as a backup to "insert more exclusive school here" and get flabbergasted when their kids get denied admission. It's like thinking you are settling for the more unattractive potential partner and then get rejected.[/b] "You weren't that good anyway" seems like the default cope.[/quote] Well said! A whole lot of "because my kid *could have gotten* into HYP..., he *should have gotten* into UChicago." [/quote]
