<p>Haha. I think perhaps some of the RD Applicants should read that article. It gives hope, doesn't it?</p>
<p>isnt that article old
I read here before</p>
<p>One hopes that the principles of admission discussed in that article still hold, more or less, today. Admissions practices don't get 'old', and in that sense the article isn't out of date: ostensibly, Chicago is still looking for the same types of students, to build an interesting and intelligent class.</p>

<p>Seems like it :(</p>
<p>What they do is print everyone's social security out on a little slip of paper and bake all of the little fortunes into a big carrot cake. Then they decide what they want their percentage to be this year. Self-selecting, you know, so they can get away with... 18%? 22%? 27%? 31%? 40%? Libby Pearson calls out a number and then Ted O'Neill seconds it, and then they slice out that percentage of the desert and pick out all the names and send out the letters.</p>
<p>This is a fact.</p>
<p>"What they do is print everyone's social security out on a little slip of paper..." and therefore do not admit any non-US citizens.</p>
<p>wonderful article, a re-assuring hope for some.</p>
