Anything that a Deferee can do now?

^^ Once they receive all the applications, in this case – 28,000 and know how many spots they have available, an acceptance rate can be determined w/o actually accepting any applicants. This rate could have been calculated 2 months ago (21%)

The yield is only calculated (although they do estimate based on historical data) after the applicants matriculate.

Based on this years applications (28,000), they know they can only enroll 3,000. They accept 21% (5880) because they figure their yield will be approximately 50%.

I really doubt decisions are done. Admissions needs all the time they can get.
