<p>Do you guys know~? Stanford is my dream school and my application was deferred. </p>
<p>are there any specific numbers posted up on the web?</p>
<p>Anyone. I'm curious as to how many actually got deferred? Also, The e-mail says that they take around 10% of applicants through RD of those that are deferred, but the e-mail continues to say that they also take the majority of the acceptees from the regular pool of RD applicants. If the acceptance rate for STanford is only 10% how is it possible to accept around 10% of deferred AND they say the majority of the acceptees come from the regular pool?? </p>
<p>Does this make sense to anyone?? Please help me understand. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>If you were deferred, you have basically the same chance of acceptance in the regular round as everyone else applying- around 10%.</p>
<p>But, if they try to take from the RD pool for their total of 10% acceptees, aren't our chances less than 10% because they try to take MOST from the RD pool instead of the EA pool?? Help!</p>
<p>i think if we are deferred to RD, we are a part of RD pool,
maybe they jz dont seperate us from it,and it is possible that the 10% goes the same for both the total acceptance rate for RD and Defer</p>
<p>See posts #21 and #23 in the Deferred SCEA thread... sounds like pretty reliable data:</p>
<p>according to my college counselor, yeah, it was 16%/10%/74%. He was really surprised too.</p>
<p>To clarify...16% accepted, 10% deferred and 74% rejected.</p>
<p>Ohhh.gosh..i thought dat was 16% deferred 2010,10% deferred 2011,74%deferred 2012...
i heard other ppl saying there r usually 10% deferred too,but since most of my friends are deferred im not sure wat the rate is likely to be this year..</p>
<p>Actually menloparkmom, in the regular round, the admissions rate is around 5%....they average that with the 16% or so in the early round, and that is how they get "10%" as the overall admissions rate (I know this to be true, when I visited Yale, they clarified this).</p>
<p>So then, deferred students are twice as likely to be admitted in RD than those who just apply RD... Right?</p>
<p>can someone please explain...</p>
