<p>Well we do have the admitted data, but not the rejected.
It's at <a href="http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2005/01/05/news/11741.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2005/01/05/news/11741.shtml</a></p>
<p>As for 14%, that is the rate from class of 2008.</p>
<p>I don't think that international students affects the deferred rate, unless all 50 of the internationals they're accepting are coming from the deferred pool.</p>
<p>And Byerly, why do you /always/ have to be right? Who cares about exact facts, we're just trying to estimate, for OUR benefit.</p>
<p>whoops sorry. you're right prettyfish...</p>
<p>question for Mercurysquad:</p>
<p>What do you mean when you say 14% "is the rate from the class of 2008?"</p>
<p>What rate? </p>
<p>The admit rate for ED deferreds? </p>
<p>Any link for that?</p>
<p>And as for Prettyfish's whining:</p>
<p>What's the point of "estimating for (your) own benefit" if the estimate is wildly off the mark? I happen to doubt seriously if anything like "14% of ED deferreds" are admitted at the RD stage at Princeton. If I'm wrong about this, I'd certainly like to know.</p>
<p>14% of those deferred, got admitted in the RD round.</p>
<p>Someone posted this info a while back in this forum. I'll try to find an 'official' link.... hang on...</p>
<p>Thjanks for responding. I still find the number very hard to believe, and would appreciatre a link if you have one. I think whoever posted that number may have been in error. I have found no "official" source confirming it, or even any official source listing the total number of ED deferreds.</p>
<p>Okay I searched around a bit, but couldn't get you a link... I'm a bit busy to really get into it right now...</p>
<p>I said 14% because I repeatedly heard that here, and those who quoted that figure seemed to have proof (i never checked). Maybe that's how rumors spread!</p>
<p>Byerly, by what reasoning do you find that number unbelievable? </p>
<p>≈9% admitted RD
≈14% is only five more students (14 total) admitted for every 100 deferred students, instead of 9 students out of each 100 RD applicants. That's not that much more pull, although a little seems to be given for declaring P-ton as ones #1 choice (i.e. between two applicants equal in all regards, perhaps they'd chose the one who had applied ED?)</p>
<p>Either way it seems to be a crapshoot (please excuse the vulgar terminology). Well, cheers to all of us deferrees and regular applicants anyway; let's hope for the best!</p>

[/quote]
grac, this line of reasoning is something i've never understood. How can two applicants be "equal in all regards"? And if no two applicants are equal in all regards, then a fact such as having applied ED cannot be touted as a borderline decider or anything....</p>
<p>It's the same with legacies, for example, and Princeton itself says a legacy "may get a second look" - all other factors being the same. I'm confused...</p>
<p>merc. are u talking abt ED Int'ls?</p>
<p>In the above post, I'm talking about all applicants in general.</p>
<p>im asking about the 55 people who will get admitted.</p>
<p>btw. what the hell are u doing up at 5 in the morning???? :)</p>
<p>That was just a little mixup. I said there were ~50 intls yet to be admitted, without realizing that there will be RD applicants too.</p>
<p>EDIT: And I'm trying to earn me some money at 5:30 in the morning. More details later, just know that it's a programming project.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure that I was the original one to give the figure of 14%. I asked an admissions officer about it during an info session, and she said it was 14% last year. I doubt she would lie to me.</p>
