[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The high school sending the most students to Chicago is Horace Mann (NYC). This is one of the most rigorous and selective schools in the country. They probably can get middle of the pack kids into Chicago bc they would be top kids anywhere else.

Other schools sending many are Stuy, Pine Crest, Choate, Phillips (both). The only DC school on the list is Sidwell. These are nit exactly middling students. [/quote]

I don't see that as evidence that the students are middle of the pack.  I think it's the top private schools recognizing that with 5% and lower admit rates even their unhooked students have virtually no chance of getting into an Ivy+ unless they utilize one of U Chicago's numerous ED rounds, which is exactly why UChicago uses that strategy.  Collegiate's School profile shows UChicago as the #1 single destination for their students over the past 5 years with 26 students matriculating. [/quote]

I agree. Apparently OR believes that hooked students from Choate, Horace Mann, Collegiate etc are somehow better or more worthy than unhooked students, when it's usually the exact opposite. [/quote]
