I’m sure it varies by school but my D was deferred ED from, and then later accepted in the RD round by a school that may not be as competitive as some of those you are referencing, but still has a sub-20% acceptance rate. I don’t know how unusual her situation was, but there was a very good reason why she was deferred and an equally good reason why she was eventually accepted. In a school with a holistic application review, being deferred is not always a simple matter of someone “not making the cut.” She is now a junior at the school, excelling both academically and in her chosen activities.
