After ED1, the dean of admissions published a blog post saying approx 400 people were deferred to ED2 or RD and that it was because of the new SAT and needing to compare scores with a larger cohort. That blog post has been taken down but someone copied it here if you scroll back through the forum. I don’t know how many more they deferred from ED2 to RD. Nobody is really saying much about this other than it was an unprecedented number. I wish there were a little more transparency. I don’t understand why they deleted the post on the admissions blog. Maybe @NYUAdmissionsQA can give more info. It seems the admissions office had more info at one point but they’re not really saying much.
