This the place to post the officially released admissions' statistics. With an official representative on the forum, the statistics should be forthcoming as soon as the University deems such information worthy of full disclosure.
What is known so far is that more than 11,000 students (11,143) filed an Non Restrictive Early Application. The full details should be added here shortly.
Early action applications set another record, continue yearly rise ? The Chicago Maroon

Cool. All that is missing is the ... number of successful applicants. And perhaps a link to that elusive Common Data Set. Who will be the last to release. Columbia or Chicago.
Even with self-selectivity, the not-wanting-to-post-if-deferred/rejected psychology and blablabla, I didn't expect so many ACCEPT....
If you read the 2018 EA thread, most people wrote that they got deferred (including me, lol). I assume that they're just not posting stats on the Results page since that'd be pretty depressing to fill out.
I see, I did not check the mega-thread at the time of posting of #6. Good luck though! Hope that you will get accepted! (Don't forget to indicate to UChicago that you're still interested!)

Different animals altogether! The non-binding EA attracts plenty of "what I got to lose" applications. Here's a more interesting element:
Try the percentage of the expected class that was admitted in the early round:
Harvard? 922 for 1700 seats. In the past two years, 895 for 1700 and 772 for 1,670.
Chicago? 1350 for an expected class of 1350? Or about 100 percent? The last two years were about 1380 for 1350 and 1532 for 1,350 seats.
The resident adcom should feel free to correct the numbers, if they happen to be erroneous. Not waiting with bated breath for that to happen anytime soon!
That being said, I guess that the UChicago adcoms realized that the matriculation rate would be relatively low, and admitted extra as is standard. I would be shocked if more than half of the EA acceptees ultimately matriculate at UChicago.
Harvard's draw is amazing -- that it can get 85% of the students it accepts to enroll, when all of them have other great choices, and none of them is bound. That's unique. Yale, Stanford, Princeton come close, but no one is really at that level.
(By the way, arrhenius -- last year, at least, more than 50% of Chicago's EA acceptees ultimately enrolled, and I bet they expect the same this year.)
Humm, what is that you find weird in the ... tone, JHS? I only commented on the differences between REA and open EA admissions, and that the rates of admissions at a REA school such as Harvard are not comparable to Chicago. And this for the reason you also described (different yields.) I do not think there was something weird or ... offensive in that analysis. I also pointed to the number of admits vs open spots to show how the yields will have different expectations.
Nothing new, really! As far as the tone directed at the new person behind the UChicago handle , I make no apologies for repeatedly mocking the usual silence from Chicago (and Columbia) and the usual disregard for a "bit" of transparency in releasing Common Data Sets or ... a simple rate of admission for the EA class.
Old habits do not die easily. Even after Ted's departure!
According to my D, there is a very active Facebook page for admittees. Suggest you try there.
