“If that is the case, who would submit such low scores AFTER TO was implemented?”
- The most likely didn't. As mentioned upthread, that low limit hasn't budged in years.
“We know Chicago gives top recruits a sort of “likely letters”, seeing the extremely low test scores of matriculating students, it is more than likely Chicago is giving huge preferential treatment to athletes as well. Not pointing fingers, another sign of Chicago entering the elite class, I guess.”
- Other parents of RA will attest that those scores are well below UChicago's athletic average. In fact, they are below the national averages of those tests at this point. Very doubtful that an athlete with a 20 ACT will be recruited by another elite school but things might be different at D1. UChicago is D3.
