@MissAnthropy @Reese5 according to Daily Princetonian:

[quote]
The number of students admitted from regular admission was 1109, and the acceptance rate for regular decision candidates, including those who were deferred in early action and accepted in the regular pool, is 3.8 percent./quote
This matches what admissions told us face to face, that the deferred student goes into the RD pile and is re-evaluated like all RD applicants.

FWIW - Harvard in 2015 accepted just 2.3%

[quote]
just 2.3 percent of applicants who were deferred to the regular admissions cycle received acceptance letters./quote

At this level, best to have plenty of matches and safeties.

Good luck!
