[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not an NCS parent, but "maxing out" at UChicago is hardly a consolation prize - it is ranked number 6 in the country (for what that's worth, which in OP's world seems to be everything), with an admissions rate of 5.9%. If my kid wanted to go there and was admitted, I would be thrilled.[/quote] I think it's an issue when it's the only top 25 school admitting unconnected kids from NCS this year. It's a great admit but it's kind of limiting to say "hey, you have one top 25 choice and it's Chicago". NCS is ending zero kids to most top 25 schools (no duke, Vanderbilt, rice, usc, wash u, notes dame, and on and on and on). It's essentially Chicago or a 40+ school for the very smart but unhooked girls this year. [/quote]
