It will help you a lot if you get a lot clearer as an adult about the money situation. From UChicago, you should go to their website, input the net price calculator, and assume that's the number you will pay (I had two there, it is accurate). Look at the list of schools your child is interested in. Would you be willing to pay what is on that net price calculator right now versus the other schools for the opportunity to attend? It's very likely that that is your choice - if you don't ED, you probably won't get in. If your answer is "no", you would rather, for example, attend University of Maryland with a scholarship, and still be okay with the outcome if you don't get a scholarship there and you didn't get into UChicago. If you are clear on what's worth it, you will be in a lot better place to up your odds on where your kid wants to be and where you want to them to be. It's okay to prioritize money, but you will give up opportunities to do that.

Thought this was interesting...
“Fewer men than women (17513 vs 20445) apply for UChicago, but more men than woman are admitted (1254 vs 1206) and enrolled (1067 vs 986).

UChicago does not post EA and ED acceptance rates separately. The AO was also asked directly and said they do not disclose. It's because they mostly accept ED - I do not know of any student accepted EA. So if you want to go to UChicago, apply ED.

the reddit thread is a lot more active (by a factor of 10x) and has lots of EA and ED acceptances.
Sorry I’m too old for Reddit 😆
I tried getting through that but it is a jumble. Was there an overall stats announcement?

Is that a typo?
Regarding "no athletic scholarships," I'm wondering if "merit aid" is sometimes thrown at athletes in lieu of a straight up athletic scholarship -- not specifically at U of Chicago, but also at places like Oberlin, etc. (I have no idea, just wondering out loud.)
yes, as posted by 10:23 and 11:13 and that follow up post.
