[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uchicago hired a guy to run its admissions dept about 20 years ago and his direct aim was to lower its acceptance rate, which was about 50-60%—way above its peers particularly Columbia. I went to Columbia so I remember reading this and he remarked that Chicago should have as many apps as New York. He revamped the dept and undertook an aggressive campaign to increase the apps. The school utilizes 2 ED cycles, which explains an artificially high yield. Applying and getting accepted RD is impossible. [/quote] Nordorf got there in 2009. Small detail. https://president.uchicago.edu/en/leadership/officers/james-g-nondorf "Impossible" gets thrown around a lot on here, so let's be careful about that. Admissions during any round is highly unlikely if you look at the little data they put out and even more so during RD there. [/quote]
