<p>do the deferred applicants have a better chance of getting in than the RD applicants??</p>
<p>From what I've heard, no. I think it's pretty even. I'd say that a deferred applicant should make sure to update his or her file many times and continue to show interest. That will help!</p>
<p>If ND knows you're interested and you keep showing it, they are looking for reasons to accept you.</p>
