<p>Now you’re talking out of both sides of your mouth. If what characterizes Group I is a high likelihood that the applicant will matriculate if accepted RD, then it stands to reason that there will be a bunch of legacies in Group I. I also think they are sensitive about accepting too many privileged kids EA, and that would drive legacy applicants into deferred status, too, even if they were very strong candidates. And, indeed, over half of the legacy kids I know who were accepted at Yale were accepted after being deferred EA. The rest were accepted EA.</p>
