Early Decision Applications
Total number of Early Decision applications: 2,159
Total number of VA apps: 1,165
Total number of OOS apps: 994
We use completed applications in our statistics.

Early Decision Offers
Overall offers: 748
Total VA offers: 466 (40% offer rate)
Total OOS offers: 282 (28% offer rate)
Enrollment Goal: ~3,750
This means 20% of the class will have come from the Early Decision round.

It's misleading to average these offer rates together because residency is a major factor in our review. If you are going to share these numbers, cite BOTH offer rates.

Early Decision Defers
Overall defers: 570
Total VA defers: 334
Total OOS defers: 236
Deferred students are no long bound by Early Decision agreements. Read more about deferral here (this link is in all defer letters).

What I find interesting is how many student were flat-out denied.
If my math is correct...
Total number of VA apps: 1,165
Total VA offers: 466 (40% offer rate)
Total VA defers: 334
466+334=800 total number who were either accepted now or deferred.
1165-800=365 who were flat out denied.
I'd be curious to know about those applications.
Was it serious wishful thinking?
Could they have been better off doing regular decision?[/quote]

Probably kinder in the long run. They will be more drive to do a good job on RD apps. Why string people along?

Georgetown only defers. Not sure I agree with that. [/quote]
