CC posts referring to RD success of EA deferred applicants:

Most of these statistics appear to come out of the deferral letter sent by Yale, although a newspaper article is cited in one case.

Bottom line: odds are still relatively good compared to the RD field as a whole, which was 5.6% last year. Indeed, the rate of RD acceptance when EA deferred applicants are removed is certainly even lower than that.
