Please help with chances and application strategy (ED or RD)

I think you have a good list although I think your counselor is overestimating the ED bump. The acceptance rate goes way up in ED but 75% is overly optimistic IMO.

Middlebury and BC have huge advantages for applying ED. If one of these schools is truly your first choice, use your ED there.

From what I understand, ED at ND and Tufts doesn’t give the same advantage.
