[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the one who posted 30-40%. As I said in my original comment, it’s from the Harvard-Westlake data for unhooked students with GPAs of 3.9-4.3.

Unhooked Harvard-Westlake students with higher GPAs are accepted at a noticeably lower rate. That inversion (where more qualified students are less likely to be accepted) is true of a number of other ED schools, but none so highly ranked as Chicago.

We’re all guessing based on the partial information available from different high schools, because Chicago evidently believes it’s in its own best interest to hide this data. [/quote]

What data is it hiding compared to other schools? Chicago recently released a CDS and provided admission stats for this year. What additional data is it hiding that other schools give a breakdown for?[/quote]

ED acceptance rate. UVA gives its ED acceptance rate (and even breaks it down by in-state vs OOS). Chicago doesn’t. [/quote]
Also hiding % of class filled in ED rounds, number taken off waitlist, EA admit rate. Last April released first CDS ever (was for 21-22 instead of 22-23, which other schools had already released last April). Still no 22-23 release even….[/quote]

You know the dean of admission has publicly stated that it’s [b]about 25% in each of EA, ED1, ED2, and RD[/b].  You don’t have to believe him.  But that info is out there.  [/quote]
Even if true — and let’s see the cite — there is a huge amount of difference between this information and that available on a typical CDS. The information, contrary to your assertion, is not therefore “out there.”[/quote]
