[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago is not going to lose this reputation until they stop taking private school kids who are not top students. 
Period.

Anyone with connection to a top private school views Chicago as the ED2 choice for kids who didn't get into their Ivy SCEA or ED1 OR the school where kids who aren't near the top of the class but want prestige go.

Until Chicago changes this practice (and they're the only top15 school that does it) these posts will persist. [/quote]

+1 It is definitely due to their EDII.  Clearly opportunistic and it shows that Chicago completely understands it isn't the first choice of many top students but they do pick up some really kids being the only one in the Ivy+ group that does so.  You just can't have it both ways literally every student who is a serious contender for these schools knows this and therefore looks down a bit on Chicago for it. [/quote]

My kids applied UChicago ED2.  I actually wish that there is no ED2 option and everyone is on the same footing and doesn't need to worry about strategic behavior.  Now that there is this ED2 option, it just feels too silly to not try when the Ivies + top 20 RDs are so random.  Perhaps the best is the UC system: everyone OOS only has one chance and no signaling or strategic behavior.[/quote]
