From the “Maroon”:

This year, 10,408 students applied to the College, an 8-percent increase in applications from last year. The University accepted a total of 3,628 students, amounting to an overall acceptance rate of 34.9 percent. For last year’s incoming class—the class of 2010—9,542 students applied and 3,673 were accepted, at an acceptance rate of 38 percent.

…The College saw a rise in the number of Early Action applications to 3,068—an increase of 11 percent from last year. Of those applicants, 1,385, or 40 percent of those who applied early, were accepted. Only 26 percent of those who applied regular decision, along with those who had been deferred from early decision, were given offers to attend the U of C.



It appears that if one includes those deferred EA and accepted RD as actually being in the EA pool, the “pure” RD rate is even lower than 26%
