<p>Bumping the thread to the top. See post #3 re guestimate on deferred acceptance. Based on the current EA stats just announced, if 50% of the deferred students get accepted, the total percentage for all EA applicants would appear to be more like 42 to 45% acceptance, instead of roughly 50%. In any event, your chances are still 2 to 3 times higher as an EA applicant than as a pure RD applicant. Good luck in the spring.</p>
