University of Chicago Early Decision acceptance rate?

Hey guys! I'm considering applying Early Decision to UChicago, and I was wondering if anyone knows what their acceptance rate is for ED applicants? I'd like to see if it might be worth a shot.

Hello! Applying Early Decision to the University of Chicago can indeed improve your chances of acceptance. While UChicago doesn't release the exact percentage for ED acceptance rate, it's known that applying ED can provide a significant boost in comparison to applying Regular Decision. Last year, the overall acceptance rate for UChicago was 4.7%.

Applying Early Decision generally results in an increased acceptance rate for most schools, particularly for highly selective institutions like the University of Chicago. On average, applying ED can result in a 1.6x or 60% increase in your chances of admission, especially at super selective schools.

Keep in mind that by applying Early Decision, you're committing to attend UChicago if accepted. You should only apply ED if you're certain that it's your top choice and you're prepared to enroll if admitted. If you're unsure or want to compare financial aid offers from different schools, applying Early Action or Regular Decision might be a better option for you. Good luck with your application!
