<p>The evidence is scant. There is some anecdotal evidence that deferreds do a little better than average in the RD pool, but a limited data sample from last year’s SCEA applicants suggest otherwise.</p>

<p>Bottom line: deferment (vis-a-vis denial) indicates you are a competitive candidate, but there is no strong evidence you will do better than average in the Yale RD pool.</p>
