<p>Although there are other threads regarding this, does someone have the following easy to understand statistics on:</p>
<h1>and % admitted early, # and % deferred and # and % rejected.</h1>
<p>I saw on the Stanford board for example that 75% of the people who apply EA are flat out rejected.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>That only give the acceptance rate, not the rejected and deferred percentages.</p>
<p>if i recall correctly, it's like 25% get accepted ED, 30% get differed and 45% get rejected, for differed kids acceptace rate is like RD acceptance rates ~10%</p>
<p>well that's no longer relevant time to start worrying about RD applications.</p>
<p>confidentialcoll: Are you sure on those acceptance rates of deferred people? I would suspect that the deferred people(myself included) would be at an advantage for two reasons:
1. They applied Early Decision, so Columbia knows (almost 100%) that these people will attend if admitted in the RD pool.
2. They have been subject to the "weed-out" so to speak. That is, the admissions committee has decided "OK, these people, we're interested in." They flat out rejected people with 2200+ SATs, and near 4.0 GPAs, so they've narrowed down what they're looking for. In contrast, there are people applying during the RD pool who are not at all what the admissions committee is looking for(whether it be a low GPA, low SATs, or lack of interest). Thus, those deferred are naturally considered to be more qualified by Columbia's standards than those who have not been through the weeding-out process, for the simple reason that Columbia considers everyone who's deferred to have a fighting chance in the RD process.</p>
<p>Maybe, but if you weren't good enough to stand out in the smaller ED pool you'll have trouble against the superstar applicants who'll be applying RD.</p>
<p>^exactly, the two factors go against one another, you are committed, but you didn't make it when they were taking significantly more people, i feel they take ed kids rd more when they see improvement, but that's baseless.</p>
