<p>Or do early action applicants just get accepted or rejected right away with no wait list? Just like Early decision. </p>
<p>Or does early action have its own wait list?</p>
<p>Yes, all the time! With Early Action, there are three possible outcomes: accepted, rejected, or deferred to the RD round. In the RD round, applicants are either accepted, rejected, or waitlisted.</p>
<p>And some, like Georgetown for EA, either accept you or defer you to regular admission and no one is rejected during that stage.</p>
<p>Yep - I was deferred and then accepted RD at Stanford.</p>
<p>At Yale the acceptance rate of kids deferred from SCEA to RD exceeds the RD admit rate. FWIW, congrats to the previous poster but Stanford is known for deferring very few kids and rejects a higher percentage of early applicants than do the other SCEA schools.</p>
<p>D was deferred EA at Notre Dame and accepted RD. Villanova either accepts or defers EA, doesn’t reject.</p>
