With respect to Bates, (1) it accepts 48% of its ED applicants, (2) it enrolls 45% of its students from outside the top tenth of their high school classes (to the extent that information is available for this), (3) it appears to favor full-pay applicants, (4) your standardized testing results are uncommon for the school and (5) you will be graduating from Stuyvesant. With any type of ED application, I believe your chance of admission would be high there.
