<p>International without aid is judged on the same criteria as domestic students, so we can expect the acceptance rate at 40% for international w/o/ aid. So if U Chicago offered admissions to 236 international students, and only 16 got aid, then 220 were admitted without aid. 220/.4 = 510 applicants without financial aid.</p>
<p>Therefore, since 1127 applied and 510 was without aid, then about 617 applied with aid. 16/617 comes up to a 2.5% acceptance rate.</p>
<p>If we assume that the number 16 comes from the number of people who decided to attend U Chicago with the financial aid, the the acceptance rate comes out to be 2.5/x, where x is the yield rate, written as a decimal.</p>
<p>The international pool is super competitive. My numbers could be off if international without aid acceptance is lower, but that still makes a really competitive pool. Sorry if this sounds depressing. It really sucks for people who live and pay taxes in the US, including to federal student aid programs, but cannot qualify for aid because they didn’t get their Green Cards yet.</p>
