The only students who can be expected to be admitted after being deferred are students who

1. the college especially wants (usually because of URM staus or very unique talent)

2) The student’s grades through junior year were somewhat lacking/or course load wasn’t especially demanding and the admissions committee feels that they MUST see midyear grades before making a decision.

If your grades through junior year are excellent and your course load has been demanding and they still passed on you ED, there is very little chance that you will get in RD

Heard this from a Dartmouth admissions officer first hand
