Ivy+ schools: 2–8% of deferred students are eventually admitted
Top 20 privates: 5–15% of deferred students eventually admitted
Top 50 schools: 10–25% of deferred students eventually admitted

Take a few T10 schools as examples:
Northwestern:  ~10–15% of deferred Admitted from Deferral Pool
Penn: ~8–12% of deferred Admitted from Deferral Pool
Johns Hopkins: ~10–15% of deferred Admitted from Deferral Pool
Duke: ~8–12% of deferred Admitted from Deferral Pool

These admit rates are much higher (2x) than their RD admit rates.

The highest admit rate from deferral Pool among T20 is Cornell:
~15–20% of deferred Admitted from Deferral Pool

I suspect they admit most deferrals from private high schools where counselors can ensure the admits withdraw from all other application upon acceptance. [/quote]

The deferral admit rates are really high.  See, Cornell.

ED2 doesn't provide any real advantage compared to RD.  That's why schools do not disclose ED2 acceptance rate any more.  The only one that discloses is Rice, with ED2 acceptance rate ~6%.  Most of the T20 schools have similar ED2 admit rate.  It's not really worth it to sign up for a binding ED2, particularly in view of the high deferral admit rate.  Agree that defrral admit is particularly used to admit private school kids.[/quote]
