芝加哥大学录取新政策出台，新增ED和EDII选项！

芝加哥大学今年更新了申请政策，在原有的EA基础上增加了ED1和ED2的选择。Our Early Action (EA) deadline is best for students who would like to apply early and receive an admissions decision early, but are not certain about what college they would like to attend. Applying as an Early Action applicant does not constitute a binding commitment to attend if admitted, and you have several months to let us know whether or not you will attend.  If you would like to compare admissions offers and financial aid packages from multiple colleges when making your final decision, Early Action is a better choice than an Early Decision plan.

EA适合想早申，但是又不太确定自己最想上哪所学校的学生。EA录取之后你有好几个月的时间来做决定，可以和别的offer进行比较。Our Early Decision I (ED I) application option is best for students who have identified UChicago as their absolute first choice and know they would choose to attend UChicago immediately if offered admission. This admissions plan is binding, meaning that if admitted, you commit to attending UChicago, withdrawing outstanding applications from any other school, and not applying to any additional colleges. If you are enthusiastic about applying to UChicago early but would like to compare admissions offers and financial aid packages from multiple colleges before making a final decision, you should consider applying through the Early Action plan.

Students may only apply Early Decision to one college, but may apply to other schools through non-binding admission plans in addition to an Early Decision application.

如果你确定芝加哥大学就是你的首选，那么可以选择ED1，选择ED代表绑定，也就是说如果获得芝加哥大学的录取之后就必须撤回其他学校的申请，并不再申请其他学校。（提交ED申请时，还是可以同时申请其他一些EA的学校。）Our Early Decision II (ED II) application option is best for students who have identified UChicago as their absolute first choice and know they would choose to attend UChicago immediately if offered admission, but are not ready to apply by the November 1 Early Decision I deadline. This admissions plan is binding, meaning that if admitted, you commit to attending UChicago, withdrawing outstanding applications from any other school, and not applying to any additional colleges. If you are enthusiastic about applying to UChicago but would like to compare admissions offers and financial aid packages from multiple colleges before making a final decision, you should consider applying through the Regular Decision plan.

Students may only apply Early Decision to one college, but may apply to other schools through non-binding admission plans in addition to an Early Decision application.

ED2 适合那些把芝加哥大学当成首选，但在ED1时还没有准备好的学生。Our Regular Decision (RD) deadline is the standard non-binding application plan. Applying as a Regular Decision applicant does not constitute a binding commitment to attend if admitted, and you have over a month to let us know if you will attend. If you feel that you will be able to prepare a stronger application by January than by November and would like to be able to compare admissions offers and financial aid packages from multiple colleges, Regular Decision could be the best choice for you.

RD是常规的申请计划，在录取后并没有绑定条款。今年，芝加哥大学将采取三个平台进行招生，分别是老牌申请系统Common Application平台，Universal Application平台和2016年夏天刚刚上线的Coalition Application平台。

这里需要声明的是，无论采用何种申请系统递交材料，都不会对录取结果产生任何影响。

申请者选择自己喜欢的系统即可。

让我们从两个方面来分析这项政策带来的影响：新生录取率Admission Rate 和新生入学率Yielding Rate 。

对于广大申请者来讲，录取率是大家最为关心的数据，而对于学校而言，新生入学率则是非常重要的指标，毕竟投入了辣么多人力物力，录取的学生如果只有比较少一部分入学，也是一件非常郁闷的事情（其实不仅仅是郁闷啦，还涉及到学校评比、资金投入和分配、资源利用率优化、市场宣发策略等等方面）。

在2016年USNEWS大学排名中，芝加哥大学和斯坦福大学、哥伦比亚大学并列第四，从最新录取率来看，芝加哥大学录取率是7.9%（2482/31411），哥伦比亚大学录取率是6.04%（2193/36292），斯坦福大学录取率是4.69%（2063/43997）。

很显然，芝加哥大学的录取率是三所中最高的，是有一定的可操作空间的。

新生入学率，是学校录取的学生中最终去学校入读的比例。

一般来说，学校的入学率能达到60%就是一个比较高的比例了，让我们看几所大学的在Class of 2019的入学率：

University大学入学率Stanford University斯坦福大学80.4%（1720/2140）Columbia University哥伦比亚大学63.3%（1406/2222）University of Chicago芝加哥大学 60.9%（1537/2521）MIT麻省理工学院72.7%（1105/1519）Duke University杜克大学 49.2%（1750/3558）University of Pennsylvania宾夕法尼亚大学64%（2435/3787）Johns Hopkins University约翰霍普金斯大学39.9%（1299/3251）Dartmouth College达特茅斯学院49.6%（1116/2250）Northwestern University西北大学47.5%（2018/4248）Brown University布朗大学56.5%（1625/2875）其实更多的学校低于40%，比如

University大学入学率University of Southern California南加州大学32%（2949/9181）Boston College波士顿学院26%（2162/8405）University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign伊利诺伊大学香槟分校33.6%（7565/22471）Fordham University福德汉姆大学10.6%（2164/20317）对于芝加哥大学而言，ED申请并且被录取的学生，只能选择去芝加哥大学，比起拿了录取却可能选择其他大学的情况，增加ED选项这一申请政策的改变，势必进一步提高芝加哥大学的新生入学率，芝大更有可能招到并且留住与自己学校想匹配的、有潜力、有实力的学生。
