[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From our private:
NYU is by far the easiest T30 private ED or RD . They admit from the middle of the pack. 
BC is not really T30 but it is harder than NYU. 
Uchicago for non-athletes will take ED down to the bottom of the second decile or lower. It is by far the easiest T15-18 but the students are much higher caliber than the NYU and BC ED crew. [/quote]
Is UChicago ED easier than Emory or WashU RD? [/quote]

yes.  1000%.  If you are coming from a top DC private, Chicago will take you with a 3.6-3.7 ED.  
Emory and Wash U will routinely turn down 3.95 RD---because at that point there every top20 is random and extremely competitive. There is no school that is a guarantee in the RD round.  [/quote]
Awww, still trying to make washu happen. Your breathless promotion while making up crap about other schools ruin any benefit you think you bring. [/quote]

You're a little nuts.  I'm actually the opposite of a WashU booster as I have nothing to do with the school and have never posted about it before. i don't have 95K for undergrad and if I did there was no way I'd spend it on WashU.  We never even visited.

In saying it's complete toss up for 3.95 for students at our school I was simply reporting facts.  I don't know of any top20 school that isn't.    [/quote]

I want to clarify that I'm talking about RD.  Schools like Emory, WashU, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Northwestern, Ivies etc. etc. are a complete toss up RD even for the HYP level (i.e. very top) kids at our school. There isn't any GPA level from a Big3 private that makes any of these schools a lock in RD. There are just too many applicants. I've had 2 kids at this academic level (2 admission years) and we experienced it first hand. They got into a few, were rejected from a bunch, waitlisted at a few more.  If you want any degree of certainty from any top20 school regardless of what high school you're coming from or what GPA you have you need to apply early. RD is just a toss up. [/quote]
