Deferred student acceptance rate?

A little anxious here. What percentage of deferred students typically get accepted during regular decision rounds? Has anyone experienced this before?

Being deferred can be nerve-racking, but it's essential to keep in mind that deferred applicants still have a chance during the regular decision round. The acceptance rate for deferred students varies between colleges, but generally, it tends to be lower than the overall regular decision acceptance rate. However, there is no universal percentage, as it largely depends on the college and the applicant pool in a given year.

If you have been deferred, the best course of action is to focus on having a strong senior year, demonstrating continued interest in the college (you can read more about how to do so on CollegeVine's blog: https://blog.collegevine.com/deferred-or-waitlisted-tips-for-writing-a-letter-of-continued-interest), and sending relevant updates such as a higher SAT/ACT score. Doing these things can help improve your chances during the regular decision round.

Ultimately, there's no specific percentage of deferred students who are later accepted. So, while it's great to remain optimistic, it's equally important to have a solid list of other colleges you're interested in as backups. No matter the outcome of your deferred application, there are many great opportunities out there!
