<p>I understand that SCEA admits only the people who are competitive applicants for all the top schools, but are there a lot of people who get deferred, or are there more denied in the early round?</p>
<p>A lot (~50% in past years) are deferred. 35-38% or so are denied. This is quite a contrast to, say, Stanford, where very few people get deferred and the vast majority get denied.</p>
