I was considering an ED to either because I love them both equally but am not likely to get in RD. I have visited Pitzer, but not Bates since I live abroad. I was mainly wondering in the differences of acceptance rates since Bates is better regarded and is ranked higher but at 25% RD and 55% ED while Pitzer is only 13.5 RD and 33% ED. So how would my chances at Bates be less than Pitzer?
