[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UChicago scoops up many unhooked high stats kids who can full pay.  A few years ago they got a 4.0/1600 SAT kid who arguably was the smartest in the grade.  They accept kids who can handle the work and thrive in an academic environment.  What is it with this board who want to pull the kids down just because they have some wealth. Wealth does not equate academic aptitude.  Yes, there is privilege but as any parent knows there are many kids who do not take advantage of their academic privilege.  Only the hardworking, smarter kids get in.  [/quote]

Agreed. Wealth may work at HYP, where gettin in is easier a lot harder than getting out. But not Chicago.[/quote]

UChicago has the Business Economics major for kids who cannot hack their regular majors. It might have some smart kids but it is no comparison to HYP.  Our NYC private does sends a few to the school every year and most kids are above average but in no way brilliant or outstanding. Infact, top students rarely apply ED to UChicago.[/quote]

SAT and GPA averages are equal to or higher than HYP. Only CalTech and MIT regularly beat UChicago on the numbers.

Are you the poster who said their 100 Nobel prizes don't count because Economics is quackery?

The three top students at our high school are going to MIT, UChicago and Yale. All ED / REA[/quote]

UChicago has been test optional for a long time, so they can manipulate the average SAT scores stat. Once again UChcago is not in the same league as MIT. Nobody who gets into both would ever choose UChicago, the school avoids giving students a chance to make a choice between schools by having two ED rounds. MIT's and Yale's yields are accurate whereas UChicago's is manipulated. UChicago should publish its RD yield. [/quote]
