99% in top 10% of their class[/quote]

Our private sends a few kids to Chicago and not even one is in the top 20%. And kids aiming for HYPMS are not applying to Chicago ED2 at our school. The 99% in top 10% comes from schools that rank and most private high schools don't rank, so they can come up with that statistic based only on schools that rank.[/quote]

At DC’s private independent school, the top
10 percent of the class is known because of end-of-junior-year cum laude designation.

This year, 2 of the top 10 percent kids got accepted to UChicago ED1. Among the non-cum laude kids, there are ED commits to Cornell, Rice, Dartmouth, Northwestern, Columbia, and Vanderbilt. Just to illustrate that  at some schools, UChicago is the top choice for top students.

And I’m sure others wish they had taken that safer approach. [/quote]

Great! They are playing with the fears of 17 and 18 year olds. Good for them. If they are really that good, why are they worried that kids won’t accept the offer unless they make it binding?[/quote]
