<p>OK, went to IPEDS site (thanks bluebayou, hadn’t heard of this site) and for the class of 2007 there were 3,467 undergrads who completed their programs. Of these, 298 majored in biology. So 11.63% is the number of bio majors. My D is deferred Cals/bio. </p>
<p>Using this still flawed method, it would mean of 733 deferreds 11.63%, or 85 are for bio. </p>
<p>Then take the RD pool (30,787) and apply the 11.63% and you get 3,580 applying for bio. </p>
<p>Take the 5,689 RD spots and apply the 11.63% and you get 662 bio spots available, with 3,580 RDs and 85 deferreds vying for these spots.</p>
<p>Yikes! Now I am truly depressed. Better work on getting D to fall in love with U. of Miami where she has been excepted into their Rosenstiel School of Marine Sciences with a $16,000 per year merit scholarship.</p>
