How many students does ND defer?

<p>Does anyone know this number/what one's chances are after being deferred?</p>

<p>Last year, there were about 6,500 early action applicants to Notre Dame. They accepted about 30% give or take, so about 1,950. They deferred about 900 applicants to Regular Decision. At RD, about 1/9 EA applicants were granted admission. This year is probably around the same. </p>

<p>Thanks! Also, here are my stats if anyone wants to chance me as an early action defer. I’ll chance back!</p>
