<p>Newmassdad - I think you very well may be right. Dean O’Neill made that quote in a Newsweek article from the late 90s that came out during my time at the College. I do think that, in the mid 90s or so (when I was applying), Chicago really did have a pretty unique - and, in some ways, noble - stance on admissions. It’s unfortunate that’s changing but - as the numbers indicate, something definitely is afoot at Chicago.</p>
