Percent Accepted, Deferred, and Rejected ED?

<p>Hey, does anyone know where I can find the percentage of Penn applicants who apply ED who are deferred and rejected? I know the acceptance rate ED, but I am curious whether or not Penn defers most decent applicants, or whether Penn just rejects most applicants who aren't outstanding.</p>

<p>I'm wondering because I applied ED, and I would honestly be SHOCKED if I were admitted, but I feel like I have a good shot of being deferred. I'm not sure how the numbers generally work out though, so I'd love some info. Thanks!</p>

<p>according to the 2012 stats penn defers around 29%</p>

<p>so basically, 1/3 accepted, 1/3 defers…the rest rejected?</p>

<p>hmmm</p>

<p>it’s a lot better than Stanford - 15% accept, 85% reject</p>

<p>well if it’s 1/3 accept and 1/3 defer…isn’t it just 1/3 reject? (not to be rude)</p>

<p>and yea I guess those odds aren’t too bad…considering those deferred have hope still.</p>

<p>well it’s more like 30% accept, 30% defer, and 40% reject
a slight difference i guess</p>
