[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not only u Chicago, all these elite schools take majority of the kids with ED.
U Penn already took 50 percent of the class with ED1.
Chicago takes 25 percent Ed1,25 percent ED2,
25 percent early action and 25 percent RD.must’s what they claim 
Business Econ definitely easier than economics at Chicago  but compare to similar programs at BC or Georgetown still much more intense.

At our private HS, Chicago puts some kids on waitlist if they apply EA and RD and then if the kid is interested they make them sign the ED document to accept them off the waitlist so they also have an unofficial ED3. So although it looks like the kids got in RD they manage yield even in RD through this tactic[/quote]
Who “makes them” sign a document? Your private high school? All colleges with ED2 offer deferred EA students the option to switch to ED2. [/quote]

The person is saying the school contacts the "waitlisted" student and says the student will be accepted if he/she switches to ED2 right now. If the student doesn't switch, the student never comes off the "waitlist" (it's not a real waitlist). There are a bunch of schools that do this, but most of them are way less selective than Chicago. It's a strong-arm tactic because it gives the kid a span of a day or less to make a binding decision at a random time.[/quote]
