Application results for the class of 2021 (Those entering school in the fall of 2017)
Chicago did not formally release this information this spring for the first time, but I do have a snapshot. Politics, people. There is something that they do not want to discuss, or a problem within the admissions department that has slowed them down. However, Dean Nondorf spoke at a gathering in the late spring, and here are the (somewhat fuzzy) details: EA/ED acceptance was “in the teens;” regular admitted was 2%, and accepted after being deferred 0.5%. The Dean also said that statistically it is the most competitive class thus far. Overall acceptance is under 8%.
Previous confirmed data (last year) put the admissions GPA at 4.0 weighted, 3.8 range unweighted, an average ACT of 33 and SAT Reading/Math at 1492. Yep, a tough admit. But Berkeley sure is catching up . . .
