what are the chances for deferred students getting accepted?

I don’t have access to any statistics, but do keep in mind that the number of applicants this year means that unless the applicant pool was significantly better for EA than Regular Decision, that the chances of moving from a deferral to being accepted may be pretty low. As far as I can tell, Northeastern has done a good job of handling their applications, but I know last year that some schools weren’t prepared for the number of applications they received and literally wound up not accepting any deferred students (again, this was not at Northeastern).

Of course, its really difficult to make any kind of useful prediction.
