[quote=Anonymous]All OP said was that they don't use yield protection, aka Tufts Syndrome of deliberately not admitting super-qualified candidates that are likely to choose a higher school. An admissions office can claim not to engage in yield protection, while at the same time ensuring high yield through aggressive marketing to drum up applications, and Chicago is the poster child for that. As for essays, the quirky Chicago essay prompts probably are not conducive to the best writing. I took OP's comment on essay quality to be a more general remark on how poor essay quality actually is (probably everywhere). I myself often wondered why so many kids at CC think their essays are 9/10 or higher.[/quote]
