<p>This comes up all the time, especially on the forums of specific schools. If you go to those and search, you will find plenty of statistics.</p>

<p>It’s also the case that these percentages differ for specific schools, and that they change from year to year. But there are always <em>some</em> deferred students accepted in the RD round.</p>

<p>It’s not that hard to see what happens to the deferred pool. Last year, H deferred about 2800 candidates and about 140 of those got the nod in the RD round. This means that their chances are about equal -or slightly lower- than the students who applied directly in the RD round. That their chances are not that great is absolutely normal since they were not accepted when competing in a smaller group that is statiscally less qualified than the RD pool. </p>
