<p>Does anyone know how many deferrals there are versus outright rejections and is a deferral pretty much a rejection?</p>
<p>Interesting question which I don't have an answer to, but anecdotally: last year both kids from my son's high school who were deferred were eventually rejected. However, look for posts from PistolPete from last year. He was deferred and then accepted, and yes, he is a freshman at Tufts now. :)</p>
