[quote=Anonymous]I dispute that it's 'common knowledge' that Chicago doesn't accept anyone EA.  Maybe our school counselor should have clued us in, but she didn't.

DC, who is top of the class/ high stats, didn't want to visit any of the top schools until he got a decision.  Didn't want to fall in love with someplace only to get rejected. I think that's reasonable, and didn't push expensive/ inconvenient visits to any school that doesn't track demonstrated interest.

Chicago claims not to track demonstrated interest (though DC did attend local Chicago presentations and click on MANY emails). He really likes the option, but applying sight unseen ED seems too risky.  I thought ED would signal that HYPS were not the top choice so would be preferable to RD.  I was wrong -- DC was deferred. I regret I didn't do more research, and resent that Chicago seems to misrepresent its admissions processes.  (Which is not to say I am sure DC would have been admitted had the processes been more transparent, just that I feel DC was hoodwinked)[/quote]
