<p>i dont think theres any sort of preference whatsoever of deferees. If you think about it, although theres a 14% chance for deferees as opposed to 7% for RD ppl, that 7% includes the tons of people who wouldve gotten rejected EA, about 40% total of the EA apps. So if you take those would-be-rejects away, then probably the remaining RD pool will have about a 14% acceptance rate or soemthing. the 14% deferree acceptance rate just means that they are better candidates OVERALL than the RD pool as a whole</p>
<p>Hmmm....right...sad, but good point.</p>
<p>yeah..the only edge deferred EA applicants have is that they've implied that Yale is their first-choice school by applying early</p>
