[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Careful, there are a couple of anti-UChicago haters here.

They will claim that UChicago is barely a functional community college that uses mass marketing and hocus pocus to increase its selectivity and yield.[/quote]

OP here. Fully aware of the above. I an just interested in first-hand experience in applying ED1 in recent years. [/quote]

Excellent.  You are probably aware that UChicago introduced a summer ED opportunity in the past few weeks.  Basically, if one has taken any summer classes at UChicago, even online, they are eligible to apply ED on Sept. 1 and get a decision before October.

UChicago appeals to a very particular student.  Rigorous, no-frills must be a hardcore academic.  Since those high stat, high achieving students are what all the Ivy plus schools (Ivy plus MIT, Stanford, UChicago, Duke, CalTech) covet, to distinguish themselves they above all the other schools LOVE demonstrated interest through ED.  Since they have EDI and EDII, they take the majority of their freshmen class from ED.  It is not a large cohort who apply ED (exact and even guesstimate numbers are not really available.) From the interwebs, most likely 60% or greater are admitted in some form of ED.[/quote]

Summer ED?  Is this a joke?  Chicago is in financial distress and they're trying to plug the gaps with enrolling more full pay students[/quote]
