Agree that EDII at Swarthmore would give you a great shot. They give a much bigger ED “bump” than Pomona does, plus your double legacy would lend more of a boost to an ED app than an RD one. And it’s widely considered the most UChicago-like LAC. But… I suppose you’ve already decided you don’t like Swat enough to play the ED card, eh? If Pomona is your true first choice then give it your best shot - but getting your essay to a level that you’re more excited about would be a good idea. You’re already in at some very good schools, so you can afford to shoot the moon and hope for the best - good luck!!
