<p>When I attended the information session in August, they emphasized that the number of students deferred early action was extremely small, and they make an effort to give EA students a decision. But I've pretty much only heard of deferrals, other than a couple acceptances and rejections. Is something fishy going on...</p>
<p>I heard that 16% were accepted, 10% were deferred, and 74% rejected.. So assuming that those numbers are accurate, I'd still say that the number of students deferred early action was extremely small. Especially compared to Yale who deferred 60% (as I have heard)</p>
<p>It may be because the sample on CC is scewed so that we ended up with more deferrals than is representative of the actual early applicant pool.</p>
<p>im another deferred from stanford...
and ive only heard of deferred as well!</p>
<p>are there any stats on how many people get accepted after being deferred?</p>
<p>@Luciana: Stanford says that about 10 percent of those deferred are accepted regular admissions. </p>
<p>So, if 10 percent actually do get deferred from the beginning (~450 students), then those who are accepted after being deferred is around 45 people. Not a lot :(</p>
<p>deferred as well, one of 2 from my school (3 others were accepted, and 7 otheres rejected)...the letter said historically 10%...but my grandmother said that there was an article in the san francisco chronicle today on how stanford is accepting more people this year. so maybe they are deferring more people because of that...it still can't be that many because it said they don't defer many...</p>
<p>good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>No, they accepted less this year--16%.</p>
<p>I don't think 10% were deferred, everyone I know has been deferred. I know six deferrals from my school and church, and only one rejection.</p>
<p>^^But that might be self-selection. Maybe you just know talented people...</p>
<p>It is possible that the admissions director decided to defer more students. 10% was the historical deferral rate. My son was deferred 2 years ago, and I agree there seem to be a lot more deferrals this year than rejects, which was the case 2 years ago. I have no "proof" that anytihng has changed, but I noticed the difference this year as well.</p>
<p>maybe theyre trying to decide whether or not to admit more students this year so in the mean time theyre deferring us like mad? well I guess it's better than rejection... except now my chances for acceptance are even lower than before</p>
<p>Their website does still say they seek to provide a final decision as much as possible, but who knows how they interpreted that this year</p>
<p>I gather CC-ers are also an atypical crew! :)</p>
<p>There were 12 SCEA applicants at my school. I was deferred, along with 3 others. The other 8 were rejected.</p>
<p>It seems like a lot of people were deferred (including my D) at her HS; there's a Yale press release saying they deferred approximately 65% of their EA applicants. Maybe the 10% for Stanford is a really old number? Has anyone seen a real Stanford number? One Palo Alto source just said "many".</p>
<p>For my school, there were only 2 deferrals, the rest were all rejections. And A LOT of people from my school applied early.</p>
<p>I think maybe we deferrals are hanging around--the rejected are gone and bummed; the accepted are out partying. We're in limbo--misery loves company!</p>
<p>Everyone from my school was either rejected or accepted. Out of about ten people I don't think there was a single deferral.</p>
<p>More than 10 people applied early to Stanford at my school; I know three who got accepted.. practically everyone else was deferred, including me. It seems like there have been a lot more deferrals than rejections, but... maybe that's just my school?</p>
