Acceptance rate for those who are deferred -->

<p>I found the number of deferred EA applicants Yale admitted RD last year: 249. With a total EA applicant pool of 4049 and a deferral rate of 42.9%, that means that the acceptance rate for those deferred is 14.4%... much higher than the "regular" regular decision applicants :)</p>

<p>Yes, that does provide a little ray of hope if I get deferred. But that doesn't mean I won't still be disappointed!</p>

<p>hey that's good news. kind of. i'm running a perfect score for deferrals on the predictions game</p>

<p>Where were you able to find that information?? Just wondering... ~berurah</p>

<p>My dad found the same information by searching through old ASC newsletters.</p>

<p>that is verrrrry hopeful :) it makes me feel a tid bit better... should i get deferred, its not hopeless after all</p>

<p>berurah, I found the EA Deferred Applicants admit total from an ASC newsletter (<a href="http://www.yale.edu/asc/newsletter/index.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.yale.edu/asc/newsletter/index.html&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p>

<p>Well that's only natural i woudl think. EA applicants are generally stronger, so when they get deferred, it gives them an immdiate advantage over the... "lesser" competition.</p>
