[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UChicago doesn’t care about admitting the best kids. They care about looking very selective. And the way they do that makes me think a lot less of the school. They seek to get as many applications as possible regardless of the students qualifications just so they can reject them RD and drive down their admit rate even more. The fact that they admit nearly their entire class through ED 
1 and ED2 and accept less than 1% of RD applicants allows them to appear way more selective than they would be if they didn’t play these games. Also the way they use their waitlist (aka ED3) is just gross. No respect for that school. [/quote]

Even with the gamesmanship the stats of their accepted students are still the same of those going to Ivies.  Average SAT 1540. Average ACT 35. Math, Economics, Physics, ext are top programs globally.

You are 100% right they play the ED1 game to the hilt and it heavily favors the well to do.  Kids have to have their best SAT scores by the end of junior year. Most kids don't just after they are due.[/quote]
