<p>The best thing about being deferred is that I have a CHANCE at Yale...I am at least a legit applicant. And if I am at least in the running for Yale, that means I've got a pretty good shot at Northwestern. And I LOVE Northwestern. So yeah, I'm happy.</p>
<p>i was actually ok with being deferred....i was just glad i wasn't flat out rejected! its nice to know that they didn't just look at my app and laugh. even if there isn't a big chance i will be accepted in the spring, at least i can cling to my hope a little longer. and this also does make me feel a little more confident about some other schools.</p>
