Dartmouth ED is a much more difficult admit than people realize - its high ED rate is deceiving.
Not at our school. 3 in for Dartmouth, following last year's 4. Dartmouth is a much easier admit than peers.
Same at our small private. We sent 4 last year despite graduating class only being 120-ish people.

I think the admits after deferral must be big donors who pony up the development cash or interesting outliers that they use to fill gaps in the class.
Then they didn't take anyone off the waitlist last year but strung along a large cohort until the end of July with repeated emails ("send us another update"). It sucked.

Ummm. Impossible. Since they have ED, not REA
Really I just assumed it was like Yale. Four ED then it’s up on Instagram.

How many of the kids at these schools who were admitted RD were deferred in the ED round? Anyone have any anecdotal info? Is it a lost cause?

Potomac does not have 3 in at Dartmouth. So they either are guessing or lying.

That was 2024- my older son’s year.
Our private Catholic usually gets a few every year too

Holton had 3 admits last year and all 3 of them enrolled. Sidwell has 2 ED admits this year, at least.

Holton had 3 that announced on Instagram last year (2025). Was there 1 additional that didn't post?

What high school?
West coast private.
I posted the above about the ED acceptances last year. Local DMV school. Not sure why another poster came in with the west coast private answer!
They responded to your comment. Seems pretty obvious why.
Someone asked “Which school?” and another poster (not me) responded (incorrectly) that it was a west coast school. The school in question is a local DMV school, not a west coast one.
What dmv high school has 4 students off to Dartmouth? Name it.
Guessing STA
STA had recent years where it was as high as 5 but last year was 1. One that I know of this year too.
