Agree 100% with the above post.

The essays specifically required by U Chicago are a trap for high stats applicants who guess at what U Chicago admissions is seeking in the application essays.

Recently reviewed a very high stats, great ECs, well rounded full-pay student who was rejected as an ED applicant. Although the applicant's common app essay was adequate, the specific U Chicago essays were among the worst that I have ever read. Would make a reader doubt the intellectual depth and capacity of the otherwise stellar applicant.[/quote]

Know this that lots of Dcum stats are fake. That 4.0 student should really be 3.1 . That 1550 SAT kid prolly got on to some tutoring mill with tricks to juice up SAT by 200 pts should ideally be in the 1300 range. We are not even talking about hanky panky where proxies take the tests or - god forbid- the tests are leaked to someone paying a ransom ( for paper tests it was routine and a tutoring company could skillfully interpose the leaked material in its prep tests  for DCUM nabobs) So what are we left with? Mid school counselors tooting their horns about credentials - fake!- of their 4.0 “witch- kids “![/quote]
