U Chicago’s acceptance rate seems high, but this is misleading. U Chicago is very highly regarded for its academics. The student body there is very intellectual and has earned nicknames such as “where fun goes to die”. So no one applies there unless they are prepared for this kind of environment. These kids tend to be very highly qualified applicants. So 40% seems high, but if a more average student applies, his/her chances are a lot lower.

In other words, admissions are self-selective.
