[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The unfortunate thing about Chicago as initially discussed is that the ED rates of coming from a feeder private are far, far higher. The school caters to this with a fly-in program that wines and dines the top couple of students from pre-selected private schools for a full week the summer before senior year.
I once read somewhere that Chicago cultivates such privates as a way to bolster its prestige by association. Those kids are invited to apply ED before the official ED round and get accepted even earlier. Pre-ED?

There is nothing wrong with the school itself, though I did hear rumblings of financial issues. What is generally unfortunate is that its extensive gaming to be the almost-Ivy has been so successful, because it only incentivizes all the other schools to follow it down the path, resulting in a more confusing and (imho) unfair playing field in years to come. It and Northeastern preys off of the insecurities generated by USNWR and everyone’s need to be able to hold our head up high and say our kids did well in the college process. In an ideal world, everyone would feel that way.

A Chicago parent found out my child was at one of HYPSM and immediately began bragging extensively about her child and his institution. That’s Chicago’s admission strategy in a nutshell. And it’s worked splendidly.

An awful lot of NCS/STA kids have gone to Chicago over the years, and I have never heard anyone mention this. [/quote]
