Congrats to the fortunate and my commiserations to the unfortunate! It really does feel like a crapshoot. DS was denied outright by his first choice in ED, which has a higher acceptance rate than three of the schools he has since been admitted to in RD. He had a great application, but no traditional hooks.
Barring Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, and Pomona--this should not be a discussion. Dartmouth.
