<p>florida: Yale’s interest is to get the best (in their view) entering class possible. They’ll compare deferred students and the strong RD applicants together. You may consider it unfair but that’s not Yale’s responsibility. That’s why they won’t discriminate against populations where few people apply to schools with EA/ED because there’s little legacy of Ivy applications. </p>
<p>Good luck on your deferral time and your next round of apps.</p>
