<p>The “official” link does not breakdown EA vs. RD, which was what was being discussed. The EA data showed a minority admit rate of nearly 5% (4.66%) for African American Students. The official overall rate was about 6%, which is identical to the rate reported in the article I referenced (79/1322).</p>
<p>Further, Chicago refused from the outset to “game” the early decision practice. It did not ever use ED or SCEA, students always enjoyed full choice and financial aid comparisons between schools could always be made. Chicago’s practices do not put minority or other students at a disadvantage since there is no numerical benefit to applying early.</p>
