Percentage of deferred applicants later accepted?

<p>How many people who are deferred ACTUALLY get accepted in regular decision, as opposed to just going on the waitlist? How many out of state? Does anyone know?</p>

<p>I don't think the university releases that type of data.</p>

<p>I just figured that since they said how many people get off the waitlist someone might know the deferral stats, too. Somewhere it claimed it was, like, 10 percent. I think that's a little high...</p>

<p>the deferred applicants have a slim chance of getting in. 10% is pretty low, compared to the regualr 38% chance. In state people have slightly better odds, but its near impossible for out of staters.</p>

<p>don't feel bad! i was an oos deferral acceptee. (still bitter about it)... its possible</p>

<p>I think everyone who gets deferred always has a shot. It means that you weren't a shoe-in and they had to compare you to the RD applicants. You weren't rejected so it doesn't mean they don't think you'll get in.</p>

<p>jags did u send in any extra stuff to make ur app stronger??</p>

<p>i don't believe that shoe-in crap. i don't mean to toot my own horn, but i know i had better stats than most people - instate or oos. I think it just goes to show that there are no "shoe-ins," atleast where oos is concerned.</p>

<p>regardless, thrills, my dad got a senator to write a letter for me lol. so i sent that in. and i sent some other crap, nothing special. I had scored a song for my high school band and i sent that in. I eventually just caved and was like "i was all state, and i'll play in your brand new marching band." then i got there and didn't do it...but anyway, thats the way the cookie crumbles hah.</p>

<p>Jags, what were your stats?</p>

<p>Anyone want to share their experiences about being deferred and later accepted/rejected & their stats?</p>
