You’re still in this thread? I thought you “didn’t care about Chicago.”

I still don’t. Just can’t stand the wannabes.

You realize turning off your phone is an option? All this talk about “low IQ” but you can’t seem to realize that you can simply disengage.

It’s just tuition, right? So, everyone must pay the room and board?

Actually, Chicago is following other elite schools.

They are not the first with this idea.

And honestly, rather than doing this, why not just lower tuition by $20,000 for everyone?

250,000 is already quite wealthy. Most of the families will fall below this threshold, which means a very small number of families will be paying their over inflated tuition while others have zero skin in the game

lol...is Harvard in on some conspiracy?

You indeed have an IQ deficiency symptom. It’s so obvious to everyone else except you.

Northwestern is not considered an Ivy Plus college by Harvard, Yale or Princeton.

UChicago is.

It is more about the type of behavior UChicago engage in, which is not very common among T10 schools. Most top schools are not that insecure about their position.

ED0 is obviously bad. It mainly benefits wealthy families, and it feels like a way to push anxious students toward their overpriced summer programs.

The feeder school situation is also ridiculous. HYPSM and most other top colleges have, more or less, pulled back from heavily favoring feeder schools. That does not mean top colleges show no preference at all for certain private schools, but they usually still hold those students to very high standards. UChicago ED feels different. At certain feeder schools, the standards seem much lower, to the point where acceptance rates as high as 50 to 70 percent. It just seems excessive.

Most colleges use ED as a boost, but UChicago takes it to another level, which makes the process feel very anti meritocratic.

My sense is that this board really doesn't like the gamesmanship Chicago engages in.

Chicago is a top 10 school that behaves like its Northeastern.

It’s not top 10. No top schools would manipulate the admissions game that much. It screams lack of confidence.

It’s our resident Chicago troll again! I hadn’t seen you in a while so I was worried.

ED rounds don’t signal a lack of confidence. UChicago in 2016 had the same acceptance rate as Northwestern in 2026 with only EA and RD. I don’t mean to tear Northwestern down or anything, but it’s the truth. ED is a strategy, not a sign of “weakness.” But I figure you’re just mad because Emory has never cracked the top 10 or 20.

It was actually my first time commenting on Chicago. If that’s makes me a troll so be it.
One ED round probably doesn’t signal lack of confidence, but three rounds certain do. And it’s manipulation for sure. Again, Chicago is for tier 4-5 students. Therefore, it’s not a top 20 school.

Miserable middle class strivers rage at things they can’t afford and can’t access. Your kids never went to private schools and don’t go to top 10 universities, as evidenced by your sour comments.

Seriously? Are you saying you’re upper class with a low IQ?
And my kids are too good to be on top 10 school. They’re all in T5 and doing exceptionally well.

You can’t even type grammatically coherent posts. That genetic inheritance likely prevented them from getting into the T20 and forced them to settle for Emory.

Speaking of Emory, one of my kids actually applied to there as a safety school. They managed to receive a full ride merit scholarship (Woodruff) but chose to attend a HYPSM.

And then your alarm started ringing…⏰

I perfectly predicted this comment because I know the talent gap is so huge that it’s out of your imagination. Good night. Hopefully, you’ll get a little smarter with a good night of sleep.

The fact that you don’t realize how obvious your lies are is the real sign of low IQ.

First that your kids all conveniently attend HYPSM, second that you’re supposedly a “concerned Chicago alum” (I reported & deleted your sockpuppeting post by the way), and third that Emory is their safety?

Mediocre student is mediocre. This is exactly why you didn’t get into a real top 10, let alone a top 5. UChicago is probably the pinnacle of your whole life. Enjoy!

Typing on my phone. And there is no need to waste time with an angry wannabe like you. You’re a lightweight.

I’m typing on my phone too.

Nice try with the obvious sockpuppeting as a “Chicago alum” who can’t get their facts straight. Low IQ move to think anyone is falling for that.

You care way too much about Chicago to be anybody of worth to society. Xoxo 💋

Good typing skill! But still screams low IQ as you exhibit no logical thinking ability. I don’t care about Chicago at all but just found wannabes like you so funny. Maybe look at yourself in a mirror once your anger subsides.

English ain’t your first language, eh? I can tell.

I guess you’re don’t care about Chicago “at all” but certainly care enough to pop up at every mention of the school, cycle through the same couple of “digs” at Chicago, sockpuppet as an alum, and then boast that your kids attend HYPSM during your break at the strip mall?

You’ve demonstrated your low IQ again and again by making too many assumptions.
