Maybe this should be its own thread, but I would love to hear how other families are working through the question of an ED to a 95% rejection rate school versus a more likely submission. If you get in on the latter, then you might be saying "what if" to the harder school. On the other hand, if you get into the "easier" one, you are done. And if you apply to the "harder" one and get denied, then you have to scramble ED2 or sweat RD to the "easier" one.

Many of the privates offer need-based aid. If their Net Price Calculator shows you an affordable estimate, ED may be worth a try.
ED is a problem for so-called “donut hole” families who don’t qualify for financial aid and need to shop for merit aid

Deferred then admitted to Princeton.
The whole question of how rare it is to get in after being deferred seems tricky, because getting in period is rare, whether it's ED/EA, RD, or off the waitlist.
(I hope that didn't sound gloomy)

Friend's son got deferred from Brown ED, got accepted RD
Very, very rare.
Not for Brown + Penn. They love to do that. Helps with yield.
How does it help?
NP. I think maybe because they see a higher yield from people who ED'd, even if they were deferred. I suppose their numbers tell them that.

We weren't. DC was accepted ED to one of the privates mentioned in this thread and received about 1/3 of total cost in FA.

Very, very rare.
my kid got accepted to MIT after being deferred, although that is EA (not sure if it makes a difference)
