<p>As we come close to D-Day (decision day of course 
), I just am wondering if anyone knows the percentage of ED deferred students who are admitted. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find this statistic anywhere, but I (and I’m sure many of the other deferees, if that’s a word) would most definitely appreciate it. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I'm afraid I don't know the stats for you, but I liek the way you call March 29 D-Day :]</p>
<p>haha Thanks. And no problem (that you can't find it), because I really don't know if Brown releases enough data for us to at least get a rough percentage.</p>
<p>22 Days!</p>
<p>they said in the letter that it was the same rate as that for the regular decision applicants accepted. so that would lie somewhere between 13% and 17% (probably much closer to 13%).</p>
<p>Optimistically, however, roughly 1,400 were deferred, so you have a better chance than those applying regular decision (statistically). They're taking ~13% from 1,400 rather than 17,000.</p>
<p>It's not a better chance - 13% is 13% regardless of the sample size.
C'mon people!</p>
<p>yeah lol. I've heard that (like many other colleges) Brown has a slightly higher (if not significantly higher, i.e. + 10%) percentage for deferred candidates, even though the letter says it is the same proportion as other RD candidates.</p>
<p>cocoapunk - whoa that would be awesome..where did you hear this?</p>
<p>Well a semi-reliable source - my high school college counselor haha</p>
<p>One reason it's tough to figure out the percent of deferred students who get accepted is that some of them apply elsewhere EDII, and then withdraw their application when accepted. I think the better question to ask is what percent of deferred students who have contacted admissions after the deferral to reaffirm their interest are accepted. That's a number we'll probably never know.</p>
