I will reiterate what Lindagaf said, that one can’t use ED acceptance rates to suggest OP apply to these highly selective reach schools. I doubt there were many unhooked ED applicants with 3.5 uwGPAs accepted this year at either Midd or Colby. So even though the ED acceptance rate might be relatively higher than the RD round at some elite LACs, the same is true at some T20 universities with ED as well (such as Duke, Brown, WashU and more).
