[quote=Anonymous]To put it simply, your chances of getting off the waitlist are not always great, but they can vary from year to year, and school to school. More importantly, you won’t find out if a school has invited you off of the waitlist until after many deadlines to accept in May. Being deferred from a college or university means that your application will be assessed again during the ED1/2 or Regular Decision (RD) review process. They may want to see your semester grades or another letter of recommendation. If deferred, it likely means your application wasn’t quite strong enough to be a clear early admit but had promise. While waitlist offers are only contingent upon space remaining in the incoming class, deferred admission still allows you to be in the running before the admissions cycle is near its conclusion.[/quote]
