<p>so i will early action one of the two and i was wondering what happens to me when i get rejected from early action at each institute. Do i get another chance at regular season, or do i just have to give up??
another question is would it be better to EA both caltech and MIT or EA Stanford?
thx alot</p>
<ol>
<li>No. If you get deferred you have another chance, if you get rejected then you don’t.</li>
<li>Depends which you like more.</li>
</ol>
<p>although you are more likely to be deferred from MIT than stanford (a vast majority gets rejected)</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>It depends. If you are Deferred in EA your application will be rolled over into the Regular pool. If you are Rejected, the game is over at that school. You will be attending some other college when the time comes.</p>
<p>alright so i prefer MIT so ill probably EA MIT but my question is what is the percentage of students who get deferred for EA in Stanford and MIT?
Is it like majority of EA kids or only a few? Thx alot</p>
<p>stanford like 10, MIT like… i dunno 60ish?</p>
<p>Those statistics are easily Google-able</p>
<p>Last year 77.8% of MIT EA applicants were deferred to regular decision ([stats](<a href=“http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtml]stats[/url]”>http://www.mitadmissions.org/topics/apply/admissions_statistics/index.shtml)</a>). 11.5% were admitted, and 10.6% were rejected.</p>
<p>Stanford outright rejects a much higher percentage of SCEA applicants than most EA/ED schools.</p>
<p>Why do you think Stanford does that? It seems relatively unique.</p>
<p>It’s a philosophy. The other schools know they will not accept the vast majority of the deferred but they like the softer rejection of a deferral.</p>
<p>This is the information I assume you wanted OP:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.hernandezcollegeconsulting.com/ivy-league-admissions-statistics/[/url]”>http://www.hernandezcollegeconsulting.com/ivy-league-admissions-statistics/</a></p>
<p>Stanford’s EA admission rate is at 12.85% while MIT’s is at 10.76%. However overall, Stanford clocks in a 7.84% admission rate and MIT 10.20%. RD for Stanford is 6.77% and RD for MIT is 9.93%. </p>
<p>Just remember though, that MIT and Caltech are much more likely to defer you into the Regular round while Stanford will almost likely reject you if they wish not to admit you. Stanford does that because let’s face it, Stanford doesn’t really think 70% of the kids have a reasonable shot of admission come RD so why defer them? I’m sure MIT knows this too, but they’re playing with the gloves on.</p>
<p>^Based on my own conversations with the MIT admissions officers, I disagree. Particularly because MIT allows deferred EA applicants to submit supplemental material for RD, they really don’t know whose applications will look strongest in the RD round. The deferred EA applications are completely re-read for RD, and they won’t defer people who don’t have a shot. The problem is that a lot of MIT applicants are really competitive for admission.</p>
<p>Well, almost all of them end up being rejected anyway (just like at Yale), and I’m pretty sure you are allowed to submit supplemental material if you are deferred EA at Stanford too and I’m sure your application is re-read there too. A lot of Stanford SCEA applicants are really competitive too, especially since you can’t apply early anywhere else under Stanford’s plan. I think it’s as hmom said, to be polite.</p>
<p>

<p>While MIT does end up not accepting the vast majority of the deferred (just as it ends up not accepting the vast majority of regular action applicants), the deferred are just as likely to be accepted during the regular action round as regular action applicants. If MIT actually thinks you aren’t competitive, it rejects you during the EA decision round, but if it thinks you can hold your own in the pool, it will defer you. A deferral is NOT simply a softer rejection. I had quite a few friends at MIT who were deferred EA.</p>
