If I were to be deferred from Binghamton during the Early Decision/Action round, does anyone know the acceptance rate for deferred students during the regular admission cycle?
While I couldn't find the exact deferred acceptance rate for Binghamton University, it is generally true that the acceptance rate for deferred students during the regular admission cycle is lower than the overall acceptance rate. This is primarily because deferred students are being reviewed alongside a larger and more competitive pool of applicants during the regular decision round.
That said, don't get discouraged. The fact that you were deferred rather than outright rejected means that the admissions committee saw potential in your application and wanted to give it another consideration. To make the most of your deferred status, you can take advantage of the time between Early Decision/Action and regular decision rounds to strengthen your application. Consider updating the admissions office with any new achievements, awards, or leadership positions that you have earned since submitting your application, or send a thoughtful and modest letter expressing your continued interest in attending Binghamton.
Ultimately, while it's important to be realistic about the competition during the regular decision round, be proactive and demonstrate your passion for Binghamton to improve your chances. Best of luck!
