Added Pomona. Pomona seems to imply that past year admittees who deferred a year are included in the class numbers, so this may be off (even lower). :

To be clear @Corinthian, I’m reporting only the RD numbers, so if the school reports an overall acceptance rate for all applicants, as Pomona did, I subtract out the ED numbers from the overall number to calculate the RD rate. (n.b., I don’t intend to add the overall acceptance rate to the list because it’s a useless number for the most part.)
Some confusion here because the previously reported ED1/ED2 total was 398 accepted students, now Middlebury is saying it was 373. The numbers aren’t going to reconcile.
Adding Middlebury RD (bolding all the Middlebury entries for easy reference):

Backing out of an ED agreement does not change the fact that they were admitted. Considering how schools report their numbers, it is extremely difficult to decipher the numbers with such granularity.
I am afraid that you might find out that the only useful number is represented by the total of all admissions over he total of applications. There are simply too many variables to twist the numbers between ED1, ED2, deferred students, winter admits, wait list admits, gap year students, and other crutches used by schools to compile reasonable comparisons.
That’s a lot of students backing out of their ED commitment, more than 6% of all the ED admittees. I’m guessing it’s a mix of people deferring for a year, athlete recruits who got better offers, and financial aid issues. Colleges don’t want to say it out loud, but they don’t really have a way to force the student to accept the offer, and if you have a legitimate misunderstanding or other good reason, they are going to release you, To Middlebury, the reversal happened early enough that it can be corrected in the RD round, so no harm really.
Wow #-o watching Johns Hopkins go from a +25% acceptance rate in 2009 to a 11.4% acceptance rate 2016. At this rate they’ll be as selective as HYPS. Honestly I doubt that Hopkins is a better school now than in 2009, I still feel It’s an Ivy League wannabe. Don’t get me wrong great med school and research but not Ivy level.
Not sure how much you actually know about Hopkins. Might not be comparable to Harvard or Princeton, but academically, it’s probably at least as good as Yale and better than the other Ivies (with the possible exception of Columbia, which I don’t know enough about to evaluate). If anything, Hopkins is a University of Chicago wannabe that seems to attract lots of Ivy wannabe students (and specifically those who are pre-professional rather than artistic, intellectual, political, or entrepreneurial). I think that JHU is doing some smart things to attract the latter types of students and maybe that’s starting to pay off.
Nothing I could find about CMC, but they are unusually cautious about reporting admissions stats because of their past history. UCs are also not too forthcoming about their admissions stats, at least not until later.
No idea the actual numbers at CMC but my D received a congrats phone call last night where they told her they accepted approx. 600 out of approx. 6000 applicants. Obviously not hard numbers but gives a rough idea. Also it was a student so who knows how accurate he was.
But we would need to know how many they actually accepted in order to know admit rate. One non-scientific way would be to look at their yield from previous years. If their yield was 35%, we can guesstimate that they admitted maybe 17K students. Totally rough numbers would put the admit rate around 17.5%. Last year, 112K freshmen applied to UCLA!

That would actually mean this year (15.2 apps per seat) was less selective numerically than last year, when they had 92,728 apps for 5,680 enrolled freshmen (16.3 apps per seat).
