<p>while I can tell you that 39% of ED applicants were accepted and that the overall rate is expected to be 18% and that of the ED acceptances 53% are male, 47% female - I could not find ED deferred rates for you - I am sorry.</p>

<p>18% that is crazy, I am glad that I applied early.</p>

<p>Well, a lot of people say that the ED applicant pool is really self-selective (more so than in the RD round), so you probably would've been fine with the 18% regular decision rate.</p>

<p>what do you mean by "self-selective"?</p>
