<p>25 minutes!!!! (theoretically)</p>

<p>And they're up.</p>

<p>Deferred...</p>

<p>rejected :( <em>cries</em></p>

<p>Some useful EDI and EDII stats. Let the Java script load and the stats will scroll at the bottom of the page:</p>

<p>Welcome</a> to Middlebury</p>

<p>Accepted! : ))))</p>

<p>HopDad.. those are some interesting statistics. No oboe players!! :)</p>

<p>So sorry CurRRent... seems like it's been a long road for you.</p>

<p>By my crude analysis, it seems that the admit rate for ED1 at Middlebury was 33% and for EDII 16% (not factoring in the February admits). Is this the difference between athletic recruits/legacies from EDI and more "unhooked" candidates in EDII? Does anyone know how many students were rejected versus deferred in both rounds and what, historically, is the admit rate for RD from ED deferrals, or care to predict how that could change with applications falling for RD this year, and concerns at all private colleges regarding yield?</p>

<p>Yield isn't really a factor in ED or EDII because you are assured you have those. Now perhaps the bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush analogy applies, but at this point, they can still afford to take the creme from the top and possibly deferring those that they know Midd might be their first choice while still allowing for truly shining RD candidates to rise up. Thing is, even with applications falling, there are still a helluva lot of perfection out there that is the competition.</p>

<p>I was really referring to yield for RD, wondering if more candidates from EDII might have been deferred because, if accepted during RD, they might be more likely to attend.</p>

<p>do you know how many people out of the 297 that applied were deferred? Do the deferred have a decent shot at RD, or not so good...</p>

<p>I believe 54 were admitted (6 February), but I don't know the percentage rejected/deferred. I think we deferred people have as decent a shot as the other RD people now.</p>

<p>I don't know how it works.. so I'll put that out there plain and simple.. BUT.. logic would tell me that if you are deferred, you made it to the table once already. THere are thousands, yes thousands, that don't even make it that far. So.. yes, I not only think you have the same shot as many RD, I think it's slightly better or they would have cut you now.</p>

<p>deferred... i can't stand the wait!</p>

<p>Anybody know the total deferred or the percent accepted after deferral last year?</p>

<p>Modadunn: what do you mean "you made it to the table once already. THere are thousands, yes thousands, that don't even make it that far?" If there are 3000 applicants for the RD round for 300 remaining seats, then say the 100 deferred from previous ED rounds are up against formidable competition. I doubt they are going to have an easier time.</p>

<p>I guess I'd have to know the exact number of Early Decision I's rejected and deferred plus the number of those having applied EDII. As I said, I don't know exactly how it works, but it's pretty easy to see that deferred is not rejected. And lots of people have been flat out rejected up until this point. I was assuming that a couple thousand applied thus far between edI and EDII. And I just think if you make it to the table for discussion you're ahead of the people who either didn't make it there at all or who were rejected once they arrived. While I don't know how many make it in once deferred, it is DEFINITELY better odds than those who are in the flat out rejected pile. And of the thousands that apply regular decision, I just thinking making it to the table means something. If there was no chance, they'd say thank but no thanks if for no other reason than to reduce their own pile.</p>

<p>I agree with Modadunn. I did not know that there were more fellow defferees on this site. I got deferred too. I think that it will all work out in the end. I damn sure hope so.</p>
