Some schools use deferrals and WL liberally because they want to keep the flow of applications the next year. If they reject too many, than they may fear app numbers will drop. Personally think it’s better to deny at EA or ED if the school knows there is no chance. Duke is another school that will deny a big number at ED. I’ve heard that Michigan gets so many EA apps, they don’t have time to read them all so they defer by default.
