@bradybest I know the overall rate, but I also know that the U of C fills about 1/2 its freshman class through early action. Meaning that the acceptance rate for RD applicants is actually only about half the overall rate (a bit more, as applicant totals include the ~1000 who are accepted EA). From what I know from a NY Times article I stumbled across some time ago, the situation is much the same at most Ivies (or equivalents).
I’m applying EA, but the point I was making was more in response to @BldrDad -I was explaining why, if I apply to HYPS, it wouldn’t be single-choice EA.
@ellebelle332 -Chanced you back.
And no, I’m not Slovakian (haha). Estonian, actually. I know Estonia isn’t a Slavic country (it’s one of the Baltic states), but “Baltic” isn’t an ethnicity. Estonians aren’t, strictly speaking, Slavic, but neither are we Scandinavian or even Nordic. I’m not sure what label I’d use to describe us, but “Slavic” seems to fit best, especially with the similarities (which, if they are noted by others, we will categorically deny) between Estonians and Russians.
