UChicago and Columbia

[warblersrule]

Columbia ED + Chicago EA has long been a popular combination for high-achieving students interested in urban colleges. That’s one option if you can’t decide between them, though you’d have to commit to Columbia if admitted in the ED round.

Chicago leans quite heavily on early admissions. Approximately 80% of the students in Chicago’s freshman class last year were admitted in the early rounds.

Most of the Class of 2021 comes from the early rounds of the application. In the application process, half (50.1 percent) of responding first-years applied Early Decision and were accepted Early Decision. A substantial 79.6 percent of students applied in one of the early rounds, with 16 percent of these students being deferred and accepted in the Regular Decision round.
