Wow. I’ve never seen any numbers about what happens to deferred students in 30+ years of interviewing. Jim Miller must feel like he can tell all now that he’s leaving.

The regular decision admit rate was 7% – same as the admit rate of deferred students. It’s what admissions has been saying for years.

We interviewers don’t learn admissions results for another few days. I can’t wait to find out! (Be nice, accepted students, and send an email to your interviewer with the news.)
