回复：有没有ED 不被defer 的， 直接拒绝？ 好像上来说的都是 defer，给i 你一丝希望。 这美式礼貌害死人。

传统上harvard, yale比较仁慈。early直接拒的不多。但是stanford不同，直接 reject 很多。defer不是很多。

MIT介于他们之间，今年有一千四百多被拒（defer 4538人）

Because of the competitiveness of our pool, there were 1403 students to whom we are not able to offer admission this year. Through this process I have come to respect them all, but because of the highly selective nature of our process, we are certain we would not be able to admit them, and we wanted to let them know that as soon as possible. Please do not take this decision personally: if I have learned anything in this job, it is that selective admissions decisions are less a reflection of the applicant than a reflection of the institution. Please trust that we have done our compassionate best, and good luck with the rest of your applications this cycle.
