<p>Here is what MIT said:</p>
<p>–6,008 early applicants
–admitted 680 students
–deferred deferred 3,731 applicants
–rejected 1,308
–289 withdrew or did not complete application</p>
<p>So MIT deferred 62% of early apps</p>
<p>UChicago does not release figures on early admissions other than to say 8,698 applied.</p>

<p>Of those deferred (however many that may be) UChicago ultimately accepts about 10%, according to the Admissions Office.</p>
<p>Look for another record year for UChicago admissions overall this year, unless the world ends.</p>
<p>was anyone rejected? or was everyone just deferred?.. i mean like on this board not in general i obviously know ppl were rjected.</p>
<p>@truth123</p>
<p>how do you know that only 10% of deferred applicants are eventually accepted?</p>

<p>Hi, Grace from UChicago posted this comment on CC when she announced decisions were available this afternoon:</p>
<p>"Defer: A defer means that we are not granting you acceptance at this time, but we will review your application again in the winter.</p>
<p>Our deferral list is not ranked, and historically about 10% of deferred students are admitted in the Regular Decision pool. If UChicago remains your top choice, here is some advice on what to do next…"</p>
<p>thanks, truth</p>
<p>i feel like withdrawing my app…</p>
<p>good luck @nondairycreamer! go get 'em!!</p>
<p>Accepted!!!</p>

I have been accepted! So damn happy! Can’t wait to meet future Maroons! </p>
<p>I am not going to drop some cliches for the deferred and rejected students. Trust me, I now how you people feel. I just hope you people bounce back stronger than ever. Best wishes! :)</p>
<p>Got the letter after a Calc B/C final! Accepted!</p>
<p>Congrats to all those accepted! I’m a first-year that will be happy to take any questions by private message.</p>
<p>To the deferred: chin up! You’ve got a real chance of acceptance in the spring. Take the time to upload some supplemental material to really show the college you belong there.</p>
<p>To the rejected: UChicago applicants are the country’s brightest. You’ll get in somewhere wonderful.</p>
