<p>Yes, REJECTED, not defferred.</p>

2

<p>i don't mean to pry, but stats? haven't applied yet, so i'm afraid I can't answer that one (transfer)</p>

3

<p>I doubt many people who were rejected will take the time to post here, but sorry to hear.</p>

<p>About 1/3 of EA applicants were rejected.</p>

<p>lespaulman,
Sorry to hear about the rejection. I sometimes think that competitive hs's don't serve their students very well. Best wishes on your other applications.</p>

6

<p>this is a fact? if so, do you have a link?</p>

7

<p>Link to what?</p>

<p>Talk to me in april.</p>

<p>andy said that 1/3 of the applicants were rejected. i dont believe that and if t is correct, i would like to see where he got that from</p>

10

<p>I second that- and I have it on good authority that I'm a very reliable source. </p>

<p>The admissions man said something about roughly rejecting 1/3, accepting 1/3 and deferring (you guessed it) 1/3</p>

11

<p>hmm ok. well i would like to see the numbers. i just havent heard anything. princeton and rice for example have relased their numbers for ed
why not chicago!?</p>

12

<p>..because they are filled with venom.</p>

13

<p>i knew it....</p>

14

<p>3.3 is pretty bad when 20% have a 4.0 or better.</p>

<p>I'm skeptical as to how "competitive" this school is. "Grade-inflated" sounds more like it. Either way, you're labeling it "competitive" and are apparently not very competitive yourself. I don't see how Chicago could accept you unless you were coming from a really top school that is known to prepare even 3.0 students for good colleges.</p>

15

<p>jpps1, he was rejected. Let it go...</p>

16

<p>It sounds like he's looking for a reason and other people are beating around the bush ("sometimes competitive hs don't serve their students well").</p>

17

<p>1/3 rejected sounds okay for early results. number is probably higher for regular</p>

18

<p>^^^^</p>

<p>duh</p>

19

<p>Many schools defer a high percentage of students rather than reject outright, Harvard, for example, deferred over 70% of SCEA applicants while accepting 21%. Few where rejected outright.</p>

<p>I HAVE a link!!!</p>
