<p>Does anyone know the general stats over the past few years for the acceptance rate for deferrals?</p>
<p>Also, what kind of extra information should a deferred student send if he is still very interested in the school? i know things like new test scores and midyear reports; does anything unusal come to mind?</p>
<p>Thx</p>
<p>from what i've heard, the stats for deferred are the same as RD applicants.</p>
<p>RD admits are ~9%
Deferred admits are ~14%</p>
<p>try to do something unique like submitting your updated info in the form of asking someone out to the prom(already been done at Hahvahd) but Pton might be worth a shot</p>
<p>I think they've had their share of "unique" updates... things like these are so hackneyed it seems more stupid to me than 'unique'..... just my $0.02</p>
<p>lol... right now, i am sending in an updated, or morely a better explained, activity list... maybe an extra ref.. tha's all i have in mind.... should i send in an accordion tape if i play the accordion, what i havnt really participated in any competitions.. i dont think there are any in canada =p</p>
<p>accordion? haha, that's great...you should send it if you're good. it's definitely unusual.</p>
<p>that's the thing.. i never particitpated in competitions.. so i dont really know how good i am.. i have been playing for close to ten years and took lessons for 6 years...</p>
<p>you think i should write up an essay or something on my playing the accordion? i wrote a 100 word thing to mit and other ivies since the common app gave me the space..... </p>

<p>I still remember the first time when I tried to pick up the heavy 120 bases instrument the largest standard accordion. When I was eight, that monster would leave my arms sore for weeks. Maybe thats why people would always ask me if Im left-handed after I beat them in arm wrestling. Now, Im eighteen. Playing the accordion is no longer a burden, but my favorite way of relaxing after an intense swimming practice or a day at school. As my accordion traveled with me to a new continent, my playing the accordion is like a union between the Chinese and Western cultures, where the differences gradually blended together and became undistinguishable. Whether its in a duet with my father on his violin at a Chinese New Years party or a solo at a Christmas party, Im no longer surprised by comments such as wow! I never knew you played the accordion! It became something that sets me apart from others and something that Im proud of.</p>

Niether do I... but I wrote "let my music do the talking"</p>
<p>sounds good.</p>
<p>deferred are 14% of the 9% accepted?</p>
<p>nopes... 14% of the deferred get accepted :p</p>
<p>OK.............so, does anyone know exactly how many kids got deferred? I'm just trying to get a better perspective on numbers.</p>
<p>"Princeton just released the ED stats: 593 people admitted out of 2039 applicants."</p>
<p>So, at most, 1446 were deferred, assuming no rejections.</p>
<p>So, if 14% is the rate of acceptance for deferred students, at MOST, 202 will get accepted.</p>
<p>Well, 14% was the acceptance rate for deferred students last year, but last year there were fewer people deferred (at least, I assume so because there were more ED applicants this year). That could affect the acceptance rate for deferred students.</p>
<p>...by about one percent at the most?</p>
<p>So we still have ~190 acceptances out of the deffered lot.</p>
<p>Which sounds fine to me =)</p>
<p>Good luck, all!</p>
<p>By the way, if I remeber correctly, ~55 intls were admitted. That means around 50 more will be admitted RD.</p>
<p>Therefore, for americans who got deferred, the number of seats is a measly 140. :)</p>
<p>Do you have any supporting link for the claimed 14% admit rate for ED deferreds last year?</p>
<p>And is there any breakdown of the 2,039 number given for ED applicants THIS year - as between admitted (593), deferred (?), rejected (?) and withdrawn/incomplete (?).</p>
<p>too many ED admits :) doesn't leave much room for RD admits.</p>
