[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago's yield rate is ridiculously high. Like 80%. Higher than HYP, higher than Ivies. I bet they admit 75%+ of the class ED. Which means the ED acceptance rate must be, what 50%?? It's basically on par with Syracuse. Kind of a scam IMO.[/quote]
DP.
I was thinking 80%+ ED myself. And, I don't think that makes ED acceptance higher than 35%, they just have so many applying EA who get deferred then waitlisted, and if they get in off wailtist, they probably don't count them.[/quote]

Anyone know if they tend to waitlist students, as opposed to rejecting them, who were deferred in EA and chose not to do ED2 but go with RA?

Following is from some website about letter of continued interest for deferred students (It seems to imply that ED2 is the only logical choice left):

From a statistical perspective, your best chance of admission is EDII. If you do not opt into EDII, it doesn’t really matter how much you say you love UChicago in a letter of continued interest (more on that below), because you didn’t love them enough to double down with going EDII.

If you didn’t apply Early Decision originally, applying Early Action instead, you’ll need to proactively switch your application to EDII.[/quote]
