Any stats on deferred applicants?

Hey, so does anybody have any stats on the fate of deferred applicants?

I’d imagine that they’d have marginally more success than RD applicants (both because of yield, but also because people who apply RD to Yale, I’d imagine were not particularly strong, either deferred/rejected elsewhere ED/EA, or got in EA elsewhere, but there are only a few places that have EA and stack up with Yale acdemically and in terms of selectivity perhaps only Chicago and MIT.)

But, then again Yale may take the approach you weren’t good enough SCEA, not going to be good enough RD?

Thoughts/info would be great.
