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.

Even if these SLACs were in play, would still choose Dartmouth over them.

DS is choosing Pomona over Dartmouth. In our minds both offer out of this world educational opportunities, but the location and weather of Pomona was the trump card.
