<p>Are the URM's, Legacies, Athletes and other "Special" cases that are admitted concentrated in the EA round? </p>
<p>If Harvard is unlikely to defer this group, does that influence the "Advantage" of EA for everyone else?</p>

<li><p>It is likely that recruited athletes and legacies are disproportionately represented in the EA pool. As for URMs, that is less likely to be the case.</p></li>
<li><p>Legacies (and anyone else, for that matter) who are not admitted EA are almost always deferred rather than rejected outright.</p></li>
<li><p>As a general rule, EA deferreds have been admitted later at about the same rate as those applying RD for the first time.</p></li>

<p>Many thanks. </p>
<p>Would legacies and recruited athletes total 100? 200? More? In the EA round?</p>
