[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like for many of the top schools, they stuff their class with ED applicants thereby making their yield look better.  With their yield off the charts, their acceptance ratea plummet thereby making the school more attractive to the TikTok generation, driving ED apps, creating a cycle of impossibility.

In 2005 UCicago's acceptance rate was 40%!!!!![/quote]

In 2005, UChicago was not accessible through the Common App which means there were less applicants to the school and they were more self selective (have you seen their essay prompts?). The real culprit to these ridiculously low acceptance rates is the Common App which makes it easy to apply to 20 schools at a time and therefore inflates the number of applicants to these highly selective schools. Don't hate the player, hate the game.[/quote]

Harvard's acceptance rate in 2005 was 10%.[/quote]

It's been widely known that prior to UChicago's participation in the Common App, there were way less students interested in applying to that school. People do not apply to UChicago on a whim. If one is not interested in UChicago, they would not waste time on those essays.[/quote]
