[quote=Anonymous]no way U Chicago gets 10k ED applications as that would be higher than all Ivies

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a troll who bashes University of Chicago pretty consistently. Back again.

Dean of Admissions Nondorf said the ED1 admissions rate is 4-5% past two years. I believe the Dean of Admissions know the stats. I don't remember what % of the class that it.

My DCs love U Chicago, and yes, I went to HYP and was a top student there. I would have been about a B-C student at U Chicago, because I am pretty bad at math and there is no way to dodge it in Economics. [/quote]

Where did you find this quote?  BC from what I've seen, it's 5% for ED1, ED2, and EA combined. [/quote]

I was on the Chicago accepted students admission zoom last week. Dean Nondorf said "we received about 20,000 applications for the early round, and accepted about 1,000." He did NOT say that there were 20k early DECISION applications. I was listening carefully.

It's entirely possible that 18k of those 20k applications were EA, and they accepted half of the ED applicants.

No sour grapes here - my kid liked the school, he's going and I guess they have to do what they need to do to get out of their financial hole, but I don't love the shady admissions practices.[/quote]

Makes no sense that the majority of the 20k applications would be EA. At least at DC’s school, most kids apply to UChicago ED1. The close-to-zero EA acceptances rate is well known. This year, out of about 85 kids, 4 kids applied ED1…2 got in and 2 were rejected.

Even if you assume that half of the 20k applications were ED1 and the other half EA and that the acceptance rate for EA was zero, the acceptance rate for ED1 would be around 10 percent. [/quote][/quote]
