Yale and Stanford deferrals are different from the rest. Just Google. |
How can you get deferred from five schools when they are either ED or REA? |
Princeton REA (deferred; waitlist); Four Ivies RA, waitlisted. |
| Waitlist is not a deferral |
Yale and Stanford are not accepting all their deferrals in RD. |
But the number of athletes has not changed. So the non-athlete admission rate has gone down well over 50%; that’s “much much more competitive.” |
No, of course not, but the deferrals are different in that it signals a strong application at Yale and Stanford, which are highly rejective, even at the SCEA round. Princeton doesn't release the stats but are rumored to defer at least half of the applicants. |
Yes, but does that indicate all deferrals are the same? I’m speechless. |
This. I think you misunderstood "deferral." |
