[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether ED offer an advantage at LACs is a tricky subject because it's hard to disaggregate the ED data when things like recruited athletes, Questbridge, FGLI, academically stronger ED pools, etc. are factored in. But, I think that as a general rule of thumb, the advantage of ED at LACs is a sliding scale from the least advantageous at the very most selective schools and the most advantageous in the 10-30 ranking zone. It's obvious advice, but it bears noting.

No advantage:
WASP

Small advantage:
Bowdoin [b](when we visited the AO said ED doesn't offer any advantage, but Bowdoin still considers demonstrated interest[/b], so ED must have some small advantage)
Wellesley
Carleton
CMC

Big advantage:
Midd
Wesleyan
Grinnell
Most LACs ranked 10-30[/quote]

The AO specifically stated demonstrated interest isn't considered (any more). "Bowdoin College does not consider “demonstrated interest” so you will not be judged on whether or not you made a campus visit, contacted an admissions officer, etc." (College Transitions) [/quote]
Interesting. It must be a very recent change because Bowdoin's most recent CDS indicates that it gives some consideration to applicant interest: https://www.bowdoin.edu/ir/pdf/bowdoin-cds_2024-2025.pdf[/quote]
