<p>does anyone know the defer rate of jhu for ed acceptances? jw</p>
<p>if ur planning to defer, why don't u just wait a year to apply?</p>
<p>I think he was asking about how many people get pushed into the regular decision pool. </p>
<p>If you're asking about defering for a year, then I don't know but I think they let you defer upto 2 years. Why wait a year to apply when you can defer? Apply now while your teachers can write good recs, and you remember everything and are still in that college mindset.</p>
<p>May I ask what you're planning to do if you defer?</p>
<p>no no i meant if you get defered from the early decision pool into the regular admittance pool lol sorry for the lack of detail in the original post</p>
<p>The term defer always causes confusion since it is used in two different contexts:</p>
<p>Early Decision context
We do not publish a specific defer rate as it fluctuates each year. Over the last few years the acceptance rate has ranged from 38-48% and the deny rate for ED has been around 10%. So do your math and you can find the traditional defer rate.</p>
<p>The postponing your enrollment context:
You are allowed to defer your enrollment for up to two years to pursue a travel, work, or family experience that does not include study at another academic institution for credit. To request a deferral, an admitted student must submit their Candidate Reply Form, enrollment deposit, and a letter detailing their plans by the enrollment deposit deadline.</p>
<p>So out of the early decision applicants, only 10% are denied? So 90% get accepted. I though it was much lower than that. If this is so, then applying early decision is a good thing to do?</p>
<p>However on the college board site it says that out of 723 applicants for early decision 379 are accepted, so thats about 50%. Or is this an old statistic?</p>
<p>As AdmissionsDaniel said, if 38-48% of the ED applicants are accepted and 10% of them are rejected, 42-52% are deferred, which means that their applications will be viewed again with other regular application applicants. 10% deny rate does not mean that the other 90% will be accepted. It means that other 50% or so will be deferred admission and will be reviewed again.</p>
<p>oh i see thank you,</p>
<p>Thanks for the correct explanation byungjpark.</p>
<p>Just a piece of advice...don't rest all of your faith on these acceptance, deny, and defer rates for ED. Since the ED population is not that big each year, these percentages may fluctuate greatly. We do not enter the ED review process with set %ages in our minds nor our plans.</p>
