For the class of 2011, 62% of EA-ers were deferred (2208 out of 3541) and since it's unlikely that Yale will change its policy of deferring kids, it's likely that of the 4,888 kids that applied early to Yale for 2012, ~3,050 were deferred. However, keep in mind that while RD-ers have a completely 'clean' application (no one has their apps before, so there adcoms have no preconceptions), deferred applicants have a sort of 'X' over their applications, meaning that it's likely that adcoms will review these apps with slight negative preconceptions. As a result, it's in the applicants' best interest to show that they aren't the same person they were when they applied EA, and that they have something new to bring to the table.

According to a previous poster, Yale deferred 3150 students.
