<p>What percentage of all RD applicant are rejected?</p>

2

<p>100% - (percent of people accepted) = (percent of people rejected)
100% - 40% = 60%</p>

<p>sixty percent are rejected.</p>

<p>actually, thats overall. i dont know RD alone, not including EA.</p>

<p>I believe that the acceptance rate for RD isn’t much different than that of EA.</p>

4

<p>yes, i think there is only a 2-3% difference</p>

5

<p>I emailed my admissions officer, and she told me that 30% of deferees are admitted in the RD round. Do they count as EA or RD admits?</p>

6

<p>Most schools count them in the % admitted RD, because they are considered like everyone else in the RD pool.</p>

<p>so the RD percentage is something significantly below 40%? if you take the group of EA peeps: around 40% get in initially, then 30% of that remaining 60% get in RD, that leaves an imbalance for which the RD round must compensate.</p>

8

<p>not all 60 percent get deferred do they? i thought most of them are simply rejected.</p>

9

<p>No…most are deferred…</p>

<p>It is generally pretty hard to get double rejected in the EA round (i.e. they say no right away).</p>

<p>If you were interested enough to apply early, they usually keep you around until RD time so they can see how your first semester goes and how strong their RD pool really is.</p>

<p>qwert,</p>

<p>if memory serves me, the RD pool is significantly larger than than the EA pool. Even if 58 percent of EA people get accepted (40 percent + (30 percent of 60 percent), RD shouldn’t compensate too much for it.</p>

<p>thanks j10cpc5000. do you happen to know the exact figures for number of applicants for EA, % admitted, apps for RD and % admitted or where i could find them? im guessing that around 1500 apply EA with about 7500 applying RD.</p>
