Hello all!
I am UChicago A.B. '14 here and I'm now a PhD candidate. I served as an instructor for a course to high schoolers in my field, and one of them wants to attend UChicago. It seems that a lot has changed in the nearly a decade since I applied. UChicago has ED now?? Not just one ED, but TWO rounds of ED? UChicago no longer requires SAT?!?! So much has changed I am worried about giving her the wrong advice, haha!
I was wondering, and I apologize if this has already been asked but I can't seem to find the real answers elsewhere. Does anyone know what the approximate admit rates for EA, ED, ED II are? And what does financial aid look like for these kinds of students? I know that UChicago is need-blind for domestic applicants, but my student is international and will unfortunately need a lot of aid. I hope UChicago has now become need blind for internationals...is it? If she really wants to attend UChicago but is afraid of the price, would you say that I should advise her to apply EA and not ED or RD?
As a side note, it's really interesting to see things from the perspective of an instructor who is writing the recommendation rather than as the applicant asking for a recommendation letter, haha. I love this student so much I honestly would give up my own admission for her to get in if I could. Thanks for reading ~
