<p>Shrek2004 stated that 40 percent of those deferred are admitted in the regular pool. I'm positive that that figure is way too high. It can't be any more than 15 percent (the acceptance rate shouldn't be much higher than the regular acceptance rate, which was 8.8 percent last year). Does anyone have a solid statistic on this? I can't find such a figure anywhere.</p>
<p>40% sounds way too high to me. For yale it's around 14-15%, so i'd think it'd be the same general range from princeton</p>
<p>I don't think it's 40% either.</p>
<p>fine then! dont believe my on the spot memory popped out number from reading US NEWS 4 years ago</p>
<p>I asked this during an info session earlier this year, and they said that for last year the percentage of those accepted who were originally deferred is 14%.</p>
<p>Do some simple math.</p>
<h2>ED</h2>
<p>Applied: 2000
Accepted: 32% = 640
Deferred: 60% = 1200
Denied: 8% = 160</p>
<h2>RD</h2>
<p>Deferred acceptances: 40% of 1200 = 480</p>
<p>Total accepted ED+deferred = 640 + 480 = 1120
Class size = 1160</p>
<p>Will only 40 ppl be accepted from among the 10,000 RD applicants?</p>
<p>Who only thought this most stupid system ever - Early Decision?</p>
<p>Mercurysquad, are you sure 32% accepted under ED. Then:</p>
<h2>ED</h2>
<p>Accepted: 32% = 640</p>
<h2>RD</h2>
<p>Accepted: 8,8% = 880</p>
<p>Total class = 1160, while ED+RD = 680+880 = 1560</p>
<p>Look at Admitted/enrolled.</p>
<p>And there is lower than 32% on ED.</p>
<p>i think it was around 13-15% for deferred. But this is natural since the ED applicant is generally stronger than the RD's, so they have a stronger chance of being admitted. Also, the adcoms KNOW that Princeotn was your first choice and now have a "risk-free" way of vewing the entires pool and picking and choosing.</p>
<p>I'm sorry; by accepted I mean the # of students offered admission, not # of students who enrolled.</p>
<p>So the last few senteces should be:
Accepted class size = 1660
Will only 540 ppl be accepted from among the 10,000 RD applicants?</p>
<p>Accepted class size is like 1,700, no? But yea, something like 1,200 accepted out of 10,000+
tough it is...</p>
