I think Northwestern, Vandy, Middlebury, Barnard, Claremont McKenna, Johns Hopkins, Emory, WashU (high % class via ED1/ED2, double/triple acceptance rate ED vs RD).
Correct?

Nah. My ivy kid got into more than 3 of these in RD as well as more selective ones in RD

Oh brother. Congrats on your perfect kid. I think the point of the thread is to identify schools that like to shore up a large percentage of their class in ED. Of course there are still spaces available in RD, but if 60% of the spots are gone and schools are looking to fill whatever gaps remain in the class they are trying to achieve, there can be some tough results to swallow in RD. That’s not even taking into account schools that care about demonstrated interest, which can also be a headwind for a “high stats” kid who hasn’t really engaged with a school. Those kids from North Dakota or Alabama look way more attractive to selective schools than your typical DMV area 1500+ striver kid in RD if they already got plenty of those in ED.

Nah, proves nothing except that your kid got into schools RD. Congrats on the RD success, but that doesn't prove that there is not an ED advantage at these schools.

This is not a thread for bragging!

Congrats on your ivy kid’s accomplishments. Really, you deserve a new thread where everyone bow down to you.

Bucknell University.

Curious - why don't you recommend Bates? It's a bit small but the students are friendly, the teachers are dedicated, and there is a lot of opportunity there.

This was #3 on my kids preferred schools. He had such a favorable impression.

I didn't realize that there was a Bates hater running around. We have the Bucknell Troll, teh Holy Cross Troll, the Middlebury hater, and now a Bates hater as well. WTF is wrong with you people?

This data isn't very useful because it doesn't account for all of the hooked kids guaranteed admission.

At the bigger schools it's real

Agree.

Middlebury, Barnard, and CMC. Real bump.

WASPBowdoin? No.

Who actually wants to go Barnard these days? Yuck.
