posterX is correct that those who apply early typically fare better in the regular round than other applicants.

I’m a person who always likes to prepare for the worst, so just a reminder that Yale usually rejects around 30% of its early pool. I’m sure a lot of applicants are totally blindsided by rejections when they thought the worst that could happen was a deferral.

Sorry to be a downer, but this is the kind of info I’d want to remember so I’d be prepared for all outcomes.

euphoric_potato–Yale does reject a much higher number of early applicants than most other schools. The reason to defer applicants is because you never know what mix you’ll get in the regular decision pool.
