Yes, most of them are deferrer.
News is that they selected 2,000 out of 50,000 EA applicants.

Acceptance rate 4%

This does not equate to an acceptance rate of 4% because most EA applicants have been deferred to RD...we have no idea how many will ultimately be accepted.  In addition, it's very hard to know how many of the 2,000 are "true" admits vs the NU In or NU Bound programs, which (for reasons I don't totally understand) factor differently into acceptance rates since they don't start in the fall....I don't know if they don't count at all in the acceptance rate (i.e., are taken out of the numerator and denominator) or just the numerator (are not considered normal acceptances).

In any event, NE has become unbelievably hot...their applications for ED1 were up something like 40 percent this year and their total numbers something like 20 percent.  I have several friends in the Boston area that say it is virtually impossible for New England kids to get in because it is considered to be such a "cool" school--kids love the idea of a downtown school plus the co-op/experiential thing is really appealing.[/quote]
