<p>i dont get why ppl think that chicago isn't selective</p>

<p>i got admitted as a freshman and as a transfer</p>

<p>but u guys have to realize, how self-selective the pool is here for chicago students</p>

<p>Test Scores
Middle 50% of
First-Year Students Percent Who
Submitted Scores
SAT Reasoning Verbal: 680 - 770 85%
SAT Reasoning Math: 670 - 760 85%
ACT Composite: 29 - 33 40%</p>

<p>from collegeboard.com</p>

<p>those test scores are HIGHER than UPenn, Brown, Cornell, Columbia College, Northwestern, Gtown, same as Wash U, and 10 points off Dartmouth</p>

<p>so who cares if it accepts more students, the caliber of student applying is so tremendously high, i dont see what difference it makes</p>

<p>g bye</p>

<p>It's because you have to be smart to apply here. Dumb people dont know enough about this school to care (and wouldnt want to go here anyway) but I know people who had trouble getting into the flagship state university who actually sent an application to Harvard. For them it was a waste of money but for people of slightly higher caliber where there is a miniscule chance, they still do it but they would never apply to chicago.</p>
