eliana - I think it’s still debatable whether the larger applicant pool is going to hurt the quality of the class selected. If anything, Chicago classes have only gotten stronger as the applicant pool has increased. I think there will still be significant talent in this year’s applicant pool, even if it is bigger. Again, individual applicants may not like it because there is even more competition this year, but from an institutional perspective, this really works in the best interests of the school.

As long as the talent of the applicant pool is still very high, it makes sense for Chicago to move in this direction - for the good of the school (although this may, unfortunately, not be for the good of a certain applicant).
