This. I think you misunderstood "deferral."

Utterly false. It's called the "soft reject" . My kid got five of them, Princeton, Yale. Hsrvard, Cornell, etc, Deferred and waitlisted.
Yale and Stanford deferrals are different from the rest. Just Google.
Yale and Stanford are not accepting all their deferrals in RD.
Yes, but does that indicate all deferrals are the same? I’m speechless.

No, of course not, but the deferrals are different in that it signals a strong application at Yale and Stanford, which are highly rejective, even at the SCEA round. Princeton doesn't release the stats but are rumored to defer at least half of the applicants.

Second all-time lowest acceptance rate for Yale. But yes, a slight tick up from last year which was lowest ever. But you have to wonder if kids who were never in the running threw in an app for the hell of it during TO - to all the schools. Not sure if that made the completion harder tbh.
Everything much much more competitive than 5 years ago.
EA acceptance rate this year 10.8%, 5 years ago was 13.8%. That's not really "much much more competitive." TO clearly increased app numbers at highly competitive schools but that's the main factor here, not that kids accomplishments have changed dramatically in 5 years.
But the number of athletes has not changed. So the non-athlete admission rate has gone down well over 50%; that’s “much much more competitive.”

How can you get deferred from five schools when they are either ED or REA?
Princeton REA (deferred; waitlist); Four Ivies RA, waitlisted.
