Subject: How high or low should this student reach for in ED or EA?
There exists no verifiable, published data about UChicago's ED acceptance rate, nor the percentage of the freshman class made up of ED applicants.
It just doesn't exist. So we have storytellers weaving fantastical ED scenarios.

Some folks at Reddit did a reasoned calculation based on available information. It's in the range of 20-30% for all ED rounds. Another reddit post calculates it to be close to 40%, but I suspect it's too high even for Chicago.
It seems every other school reports this number, from Ivies to selective public colleges. Why is UChicago so secretive about this?
I think 20-30% is decent (not great). So that's not what they are hiding. What they are hiding is the percentage of class admitted through ED rounds. The reddit poster estimates this percentage to be around 70-80%, which is unusually high.
Of course when you disclose ED acceptance rate, then people will know the percentage of class admitted through ED rounds. So, it's confidential.
Quoting ridiculous percentages off of Reddit shows nothing other than you have an ax to grind, and are unable to find a reliable source,
