<p>That would be a fairly conservative estimate of the percentage of kids in each applicant pool who were offered admission last year. Deferred EA kids probably constituted about 20% of the RD pool. If they got 20% of the RD admissions, that would have added another 2+ percentage points to the EA admit rate. I doubt they got that many, but they certainly got some. And on the other side of that coin, the RD applicants did not get all of the admissions in the RD round. You can’t figure the real RD admit rate by dividing RD admissions by the number of RD applicants.</p>
