<p>Anyone know? I already sent my app in, but I'm just curious.</p>
<p>The EA admission rate and the RD admission rate are about the same actually. (15%), a lot of kids I heard though are deferred (more than 50%). The reason for the fact that MIT's EA rate & MIT's RD rate being the same is quite logical. MIT tries to only fill about 1/3 of its class with early admits. Also on average, twice as many people apply for RD than EA, so thus, the EA rate & RD rate are about the same.</p>
<p>Good luck! :)</p>
<p>I heard that if you account for those who are deferred then accepted in the RD round, the % of acceptance rises to 20%.</p>
