U of Chicago is known to be very rigouous academically- the core, no grade inflation, a university where intellectual interests , above all, are valued and taken seriously. High SAT scores can indicate intellectual abilities, so they are looked at, but the application essays are really what Chicago adcom’s pay attention to. Many NMF are attracted to Chicago because of the intellectual atmosphere there, and because they want to be surrounded by other really smart students who love to learn.
