(That last thing is what UChicago cares about a lot).


What U Chicago cares about is people applying ED so they can increase their yield. Everything else is gravy.


Obviously, that’s false. The rejected kids (including with very high stats) are also ED applicants.

Spoke as a private school parent, it's ridiculous. They're the one hold-out from days of yore.

I know mediocre private school kids who got in ED and exceptional public school kids who were rejected.


There are many many many odyssey full ride kids at Uchicago from public schools ( a lot from Midwest)

Saw this on Reddit a few weeks ago

uchicago ed1 rejection
Rant
got rejected today, i really can't figure out why, especially with their very high ed acceptance rate
3.98uw, 4.7w, 1560 sat, prestigious awards, good ECs, good essays and video profile, rec letters were probably also pretty good, full pay domestic, not applying as a very competitive major

Supposedly they place a lot of weight on essays. I wonder if with their ED0, ED1 became harder?

Did you genuinely think OP was asking about recruited athletes?

I’m guessing she did not attend their summer school or a feeder high school.

DD got rejected and she’s a top student. I’m wondering who gets in.
