<p>Realeducation, I agree that the vibe of I-house is wonderful. I say that as a parent of a first-year who books a room at I-house when visiting campus. So I’m curious to know if your daughter has ever commented on the presence of non-student visitors and how it affects her perception of her “home”.
Also, for those starting their (at least) second-annual bemoaning of the growth of the UChicago student body, I’ve never heard my S complain about overcrowding in the dorms, the dining halls, or the classroom. Maybe he doesn’t know what it was like back in what posters perceive as the good old days when there was more elbow room on campus, but it doesn’t seem to be an issue for him (opinion of one, of course.)</p>
<p>Mutti, she is a first- year too. I also stayed there once. Students are in separate floors, and she never complained about visitors. Most are first- year too, and are very close as proud of their home.They are new ‘HOME’ which is even more special for them. She really loves her dorm.</p>
<p>We definitely meant “tens of thousands” not “hundreds of thousands.” That one was just an oversight. ;)</p>
<p>JHS: We seem to be in agreement more or less. In the second paragraph of the article we concede that if the “under 9 percent” number we are hearing from sources reflects regular decision rate than it would imply an overall rate of under 10.5 percent. Are you arguing otherwise? </p>
<p>You say that all of this is public information, and you are absolutely correct. With this article we assembled some publicly available information and combined it with some information from other sources to come up with a nice summary of what is otherwise obvious. That’s sort of the role of a journalist, right?</p>
<p>Edit: Ah I see your point about deferrals. Noted.</p>
<p>At this point, let’s not waste time speculating. Results come out tomorrow, so let’s just wait and see :)</p>

<p>In light of University’s decision to keep initial acceptances under 2,700, I guess I have to stand behind this. We’ll see someday if I was right.</p>
<p>Wow, nailed it

<p>A regular admissions round acceptance rate of 7%? Crazy.</p>
<p>Update: UChicago will not be releasing waitlist numbers this year, according to a University spokesperson. To get a vague sense of what the waitlist might look like, Princeton, Stanford, and Yale had around 1,000 students on their waitlists in 2012. The number of waitlisted students accepted to the Class of 2017 will depend on how far apart the predicted yield rate is from the actual yield rate. The predicted yield rate is 52 percent this year, compared to an actual yield rate of 47 percent last year.
