so send it in
kind dome
I dont understand UChicago's "no harm" testing policy
the sat may help certain applicants, liek the 1590 -1600 "MAY" help some applicants, likewise in many school having a sat score below the 10th percentile may hurt, but uchicago's policy basically is that the sat will never be used if it hurts your app, like if your chance of getting in was 50% without sat, and cause your sat was so bad that the school chose to rate you lower: that wont happen at uchicago... at uchicago it will be only useful, or otherwise ignored.. so send your score in cause the math is quite fine actually
meager arch
id say rd is 3 and ea is 2
the numbers don’t add up if RD is less than 3.5%, probably around 4%

the conclusion is that nobody can ever get into uchicago and those of us who did are purely imaginary beings who are only here as beams of light energy from proxima centauri

since the extended deadline was yesterday (although i applied jan 5), when is the optional video due?

you can submit it like whenever there’s just less chance they look at it if you submit it later
so just do it asap

Do yall think uchicago really is need blind
obv i'm just one case but my scholarship is full tuition + some extra and that's all need based so hopefully that's somewhat reassuring
urban furnace
Do yall think uchicago really is need blind
my need based aid gives me free tuition and free housing etc.
and my app wasnt insane so clearly they are probably telling the truth being need blind (just for domestic)
unique girder
What if theyre need blind as long as they dont see if you need aid
Like with qb its obvious they need aid so they cant be blind
I might be in the same situation by reporting low income in additional info
meager arch
are my chances essentially 0 if i dont submit a video
no
meager arch
Do yall think uchicago really is need blind
yes, and even the deadline for financial aid stuff is long after the acceptance date
meager arch
uchicago scam p2w
it also has financial aid and is free for students who’s family makes under some amount
fair mist
What if theyre need blind as long as they dont see if you need aid
if they don't give aid if you need it then that's need-aware, not -blind
and if they don't have a finaid program... well they clearly do so that's not it
meager arch
uchicago is need blind (for domestic), not worth it to worry about it

idk if this is useful information but i went to an admitted students thing tonig...
interesting. I'll try to find what people said from earlir admitted students events to cross-reference
bumping this
21k vs 49k is... a big difference
49k is a lot of applications, i find it very hard to believe there were 49k applicants this year in early rounds. Harvard Co29 had 47,000 applicants!
Oh, yeah, my counselor called the regional AO to discuss the guaranteed transfer offer. The most important things he relayed were, from her:
- Very few students received guaranteed transfer offers
- These students are effectively admittable, however certain class-building constraints mean they "could not be accepted ED1" and deferral is supposedly not likely to result in admission (from ED1).

i don’t see any chats indicating that

idk maybe the 49k is from last year and the 1500 admitted so far is from this year, but I don't see anything explicitly indicating that

Hendawg the troll
iron oak
they admitted 5% of 21k
I think that cds was of co28
And since co29 they started ed0 so applicants could have increased drastically
unique girder
not cds
this is confirmed to me by a friend at the admitted students event
and i heard this circulated this year
slate jackal
they said 49k applied this year all rounds
expecting 3-4% ar
i think the 1500 prolly includes transfer offers?
and the edi acceptance rate does too
it might be like they try to increase ed acceptance rate (by including transfer in unofficial ed rate that they know will get talked abt) while decreasing overall acceptance rate (by not including it in official ar) so more ppl try to ed
unique girder
This might be it

What I want to know is what the rd acceptance rate was cuz I never got any webinar or event that told me
pliant belfry
Based on the total apps received in 2026 and number of acceptances/admits in 2025, here's a model I put together:
ED0 ED1 EA ED2 RD Total
617 7,926 13,788 3,244 23,616 49,191 Apps
159 877 87 222 610 1955 Accepted
25.8% 11.1% 0.6% 6.8% 2.6% 3.97%. Acpt Rate
This assumes a 70% yield rate for non ED, which is higher than comparable schools but still tracks with higher DI taken into consideration for admission. Also assumes past cited ED1/ED2 accpt rates of about 10-15%ED and 5-10%ED2. Models rolls deferalls into RD acceptances making the true accpt for non ED at 2%
unique girder
This makes some sense but they said 21k apps was a new record for them and this is about 22k
pliant belfry
I heard 22k, but could be wrong
gilded snow
Super interesting. I sort of wonder what the acceptance rate is for EA deferred to RD. Higher, lower, or same as people that just applied straight RD?

like i just don’t understand the basis of your simulation
not that i’m saying it’s inaccurate i just don’t know
pliant belfry

ED0 is based on 25% accpt rate.
pulsar elbow
ED0 is based on 25% accpt rate.
is this published ?
i’m just unsure about the numbers bro especially ea
like MAYBE speculation for ed0 can work
but ea and ed both come out on one date
i don’t see how you can differentiate them unless the percentages are arbitrary numbers
pliant belfry
is this published ?
Totally fair. It could be any distribution between EA/RD. I used EA accpt rate not greater than 50% of RD accpt rate.
pliant belfry
is this published ?
Here's a distribution that would have a very large SD, assuming application evens out at the nearest 100 and every admission evens out at the nearest 50. I did have to tack on 5 to RD to make it work.
ED0 ED1 EA ED2 RD
600 8,000 13,400 3,400 23,600 49,000

i can see this being a bit more accurate
although i don’t think it should be taken very seriously i can see this being a potential model
and we will know if rd/ed2 is accurate by the end of the year through cds as we know # of admitted through early
so it’ll be a very hazy check
only for the accuracy of regular though not early

I'm glad you approve. My son was accepted ED1 and i wanted to estimate the accpt rate now that we have more data. But also wanted to show folks that ED2/RD probably is better than what's getting posted here. I've worked in the finance industry for 25 years . You're right, do not take this with any grain of accuracy....compliance disclosure. Hope it's interesting.
