<p>FAQ states that "more than 3,000" deferred were accepted. Any idea how many were deferred in total? A thread from last year seems to indicate there were EA rejections as well so it's not clear if they just defer many people like other EA schools. Perhaps someone from admissions has posted a number up somewhere?</p>
<p>They don’t release that information. And if they did, I don’t think it would be terribly meaningful for this year anyway. Part of the reason I suspect they defer so many people is because they don’t know what the makeup of the overall applicant pool will look like, since it changes a lot year to year at Northeastern. So whatever the rate last year, it could be very different this year, especially with ED in the mix for the first time. </p>
