[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one reason that from our NYC private, top kids don't apply to Chicago because everyone knows it is for a average kid who cannot get into ivies. So in a sense, they pay a price of not getting the best kids. Maybe they are getting the best kids from public schools. If they are a really top school they should not hide behind two ED rounds and compete more fairly.[/quote] Penn M&T poster here. In general, non-HYP Ivies can’t compete with HYPSM either, which is why they offer ED and special programs. I’m fairly certain I could have gotten into Harvard had I applied back in my day, but Penn M&T ED was too tempting to ignore (which is exactly Penn’s intention in offering it). I have no bias towards or against Chicago specifically, but I disagree with your conclusion that it’s for “average kids who cannot get into [I]vies.”[/quote]
