[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Without a hook if there are T10 DC is interested in I would say apply, but not sure I would waste a ED on them.

With Duke taking in more from the Carolinas I  think Duke for DCUM will be the same as ivys now and not sure if I would use that as an ED any longer.

University of Chicago might be the only one I would consider worth an ED if DC loves it.

+ 100. Chicago remains the one top school with ED predictability: With stats in a certain range, and unhooked, you will be in with greater certainty than be said for any other top 10/20 school. That said, Chicago's weather and U Chicago's location + Chicago's core curriculum and their quarter system are major factors to consider. For literally any student for whom these are not a problem, Chicago ED is the obvious way to go to endure a quality ED outcome.[/quote]

But you don't need anywhere near a 3.9 from a Big3 to get into Chicago!  Our school's Scoir data shows acceptances last year (unhooked) down to a 3.4!
It really mostly serves to take the kids outside of the top 20% in the class who still want a prestigious and/or academic college.[/quote]

On what planet? Tons of amazing students are rejected by Chicago in the ED rounds! It is no slam dunk for anyone, regardless of ability to pay, perfect grades and perfect test scores. [/quote]
