@JustEthan Regarding the admissions ratings process, there are three main rating variables.

1-5 : Academics
A-E : Personality - Extra Curricular, Essay responses, etc.
XYZ : UChicago fit - engagement

These may/may not be used to make the first cut where additional criteria such as Hooks, URM, Legacy, etc. are factored in.

One could only guess whether this is done across each round.

With the sheer number of applicants and limited spots, at the end of the day it’s a numbers game when trying to compare across peer institutions.
