<p>logically this seems correct but i’m not sure it’s the case. the percent admitted from the RD and deferred-EA pool seems so consistent year-to-year that i find it very improbable that the % admitted for EA deferrees is completely dependent upon the strength of the RD pool. what i mean is the RD pool has consistently had a ~7% admittance rate and the EA deferees have consistently had a ~14% admittance rate over the years, and if the % admitted for EA depended only upon the strength of the RD pool, that number would have fluctuated more. does that make sense to anybody?</p>
<p>by the way, i got my numbers from various threads on this site… as i recall there is a monster thread somewhere regarding % admitted for a bunch of universities over the past several years.</p>
<p>really, who knows what the heck they do!</p>
<p>and also, i’m only a high school senior and this is ALL SPECULATION so i could very very easily be wrong. (disclaimer :))</p>
