[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't count on getting in ED after being deferred by an Ivy. I think in general those schools admit about 5% of deferred kids. My child went down this path last year and then never got in: ED->deferral->waitlist->rejection. The school they applied to never went to the waitlist for their program. We know a couple of other kids that this happened to at different Ivies and other top schools. In retrospect my kid should have applied ED2 to a different school. RD worked out ok but there were a lot of rejections (many top schools have a 2-8% admit rate at that point in the process!) and it was a long and stressful. In the end they settled for a school that isn't the best fit. I guess the main point of my post is to NOT count on the ED deferral working out. It sounds so hopeful at the time ("Oh, I get another chance!") but the odds are super slim at top schools. Good luck![/quote]
