Chicago's yield rate is ridiculously high. Like 80%. Higher than HYP, higher than Ivies. I bet they admit 75%+ of the class ED. Which means the ED acceptance rate must be, what 50%?? It's basically on par with Syracuse. Kind of a scam IMO.

haha.. From last year
5% EDI + EA acceptance rate
20K applicants
30% increase in apps
most diverse class
- 18% 1st gen
- 10% from rural areas
- 45 states

99% in top 10% of their class
Our private sends a few kids to Chicago and not even one is in the top 20%. And kids aiming for HYPMS are not applying to Chicago ED2 at our school. The 99% in top 10% comes from schools that rank and most private high schools don't rank, so they can come up with that statistic based only on schools that rank.
Guess ur school brought down the average

The reason we know who top 20% is because they are cum laude.

The general consensus in this forum seems to be that if UChicago deferred and the student doesn’t choose ED2 then the chances in RD are close to zero. If that’s true then UChicago is playing a sneaky game and soon students will stop applying to EA there.
What if a student is considering ED2 or RD only (was deferred from HYP+). The financial committment without knwing packages at other places scares me, but if they have no chance at RD...
Chicago is notorious for hiding its ED numbers and not disclosing them in its CDS, but estimates are that it fills 65-70% of class ED. That makes the RD acceptance rate miniscule. Better RD chances at a host of other top schools. The point is, be OK with RD options that are not UChicago…or even consider an ED2 elsewhere.
ED acceptance rates were announced last year at accepted student events and discussed on several threads in this forum. If interested in ED run the NPC. If the school does not match, u can bow out.

That’s about right. UChicago ED2 is already pretty tough because a bunch of kids who applied to HYPMS in the first round end up applying.
True the kids who applied ED2 from our private last year were deferred from HYPMS and they didn't want to wait for RD decisions. They were very strong students.
