[quote=Anonymous]It is more about the type of behavior UChicago engage in, which is not very common among T10 schools. Most top schools are not that insecure about their position. ED0 is obviously bad. It mainly benefits wealthy families, and it feels like a way to push anxious students toward their overpriced summer programs. The feeder school situation is also ridiculous. HYPSM and most other top colleges have, more or less, pulled back from heavily favoring feeder schools. That does not mean top colleges show no preference at all for certain private schools, but they usually still hold those students to very high standards. UChicago ED feels different. At certain feeder schools, the standards seem much lower, to the point where acceptance rates as high as 50 to 70 percent. It just seems excessive. Most colleges use ED as a boost, but UChicago takes it to another level, which makes the process feel very anti meritocratic.[/quote]
