[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Last year Duke accepted 10% of ED deferrals. That's higher than their RD admit rate, but still my deferred DC is not optimistic. We'll know in 2-3 weeks. Trying to move on before then has been hard for them.[/quote]

It's hard. The percentage is high compared to the overall RD rate, but the [b]less-strong applicants from ED have already been filtered out,[/b] so it's 10% of a relatively strong group. Good luck.[/quote]

You don't mention the stronger ED applicants also have been removed (accepted).  [/quote]

That is why PP said relatively strong. The accepted ED kids are not competing with the deferred ones for a spot, it is irrelevant.[/quote]
The deferred kids are not competing with the deferred kids.  They are re-evaluated in the RD pool, i.e., competing with everyone in the RD.  Whether or not the deferral pool comprises "relatively strong" from ED is totally irrelevant.  Irrelevant.[/quote]

Do we think that the AOs during the RD round are comparing the RD candidates to candidates who have already been accepted ED?  Like, comparing their stats or rigor or awards or things like that?[/quote]

Slate can show them admitted kid "Stats" from the same HS. Its just a pop up screen.[/quote]

They’re all together in the class-building stage. The kids who were admitted early have protected status, but they’re all evaluated together when the director of admissions is determining that they have [b]enough kids with 1540+[/b], enough boys, enough English majors, enough kids from Iowa, etc.[/quote]

lol  I hope this really is one of the class shaping tools.  But it kinda makes sense that they do this.[/quote]

Kind of evil, think about it[/quote]

“Evil” seems a little strong when what we’re describing is “colleges admitting some students whose test scores indicate they are prepared to do the work.”[/quote]
