<p>I didn’t apply and don’t intend to, but my best friend just received an email saying he’d been deferred on the ED. I’m personally chalking this up to the 2-day suspension he got last for a poorly-thought-out joke, given that his scores and classes are all good and I can’t see an interview for a science-heavy college going badly for him.</p>
<p>So, out of casual interest, how many people get deferred out of the ED pool each year?</p>
