[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a poster (or posters) on there who now call anyone who posts about Chicago admissions practices as a "Chicago hater."

None of us hate Chicago. The simply do a lot of things with admissions that are not done by other top20 schools:

-ED0
-practice of regularly taking middle-of-the-pack kids who apply ED from some private high schools
-new guaranteed transfer program (which has been done for years by Cornell)[/quote]

ED0 was not middle of the pack kids. Where do you get this information?[/quote]

You didn't read my post correctly. I did not say that ED0 is always middle-of-the-pack kids. 
What I said is that one of Chicago's admissions idiosyncrasies (of the 3 I listed) is to regularly take middle-of-the-pack kids from SOME top private high schools if the kids apply ED1 or ED2. There are a few of these schools DMV (Sidwell, STA, NCS, Potomac) where this is the case. This is not to say that every kid who goes to Chicago from these school is middle-of-the-pack as some are very top kids who choose Chicago.  But they will also very regularly take kids who are surprisingly not near the top of the class if they apply early. None of the other top20 colleges do this and it's well known within these highschool communities.  [/quote]

Seriously? Go talk to your low end of the pack athletes at Harvard or Yale, give me a break. There was a girl bragging online about her 1370 and Yale acceptance in 2025, and she wasn't an athlete. I am sure these HM or [b]HW students didn't have that score[/b]...this is not a UChicago problem. [/quote]

What we know is that, according to Harvard Westlake's public applicant data, Chicago takes [b]unhooked [/b]kids with 3.2 gpa from HW.  [/quote]

JHU only takes 3.8+ gpa band from HW.  Who is a real T10, it's clear.[/quote]
