UChicago doesn’t publish ED rates[/quote]

And this is exactly why people on DCUM will say that everyone who applied ED will get in, the acceptance rate is sky-high, all the mediocre kids from their private are accepted, blah, blah, blah.

While it is infuriating that Chicago admissions plays games and lacks transparency, there is zero evidence that their ED acceptance rate is significantly different from their RD.  Nobody knows!

My '25 kid applied ED1.  MCPS.  IBDP. 4.8UW, 1540.  Great essays (that's what everyone says).  100% fit the profile of the 1-2 kids per year from our school that are accepted.  Kid was rejected.  We'll never know why, but they got into other great schools and are at an amazing college that is the perfect fit.  Don't assume that all qualified ED kids get in.  It's not true.[/quote]

Reliable calculations are a 30-35% ED rate: there is a ton of evidence that UChicago ED rates are way higher than any school offering ED in the top 20. Not just a little higher — 20%-30% higher. It’s called math.

As for the CDS issue, wow, this went right over some posters’ heads. I guess some of you are clueless about how Chicago’s “gaming” includes lack of CDS transparency. This is old news to the uninitiated, but perhaps an epiphany for those out of their depth…[/quote]
