@marlowe1 not sure that stat comparison among the various pools would tell us much. Accepted stats are high anyway and UChicago superscores so what they report may be inflated (think of super scoring as the standardized test version of “best ball” LOL). What you might see - and I haven’t looked - is that the ED kids are represented by a large group of smart kids with great stats, essays, recs, etc. who didn’t apply for financial aid so have good SES as well. If a demographic shows up, it would be white/SE Asian/East Indian (international as well). EA enthusiasts for Chicago might have more interesting characteristics, demographics, etc. Perhaps a larger proportion of AA, Hispanic, under-represented Asian, etc. (because a high stat URM shouldn’t have to apply ED to be considered, and many in QuestBridge etc. obviously can’t). You might also find something more striking - like a special talent - about these kids (after all, thousands of them applied so why would UChicago pick the same group as the ED kids?). RD might have a lot of kids who are looking at UChicago and HYPS. They might have applied SCEA somewhere and are weighing their options. Naturally, there are all types in all groups - these are generalizations.
