can anyone post how the defer letter looks like??
The Committee on Admissions has carefully considered your application as an Early Decision candidate to Columbia University and has decided to defer a final action on your application. When the Committee convenes in the coming months, your case will be reconsidered in the context of the full applicant pool. However, since the final decision will not reach you until late March, I urge you to submit other applications in order to keep all of your college options open.
I understand that this action may be a disappointment to you and your family, but I can assure you that the Committee on Admissions has deferred only those candidates whose credentials may prove competitive in the context of the Regular Decision pool. In past years, deferred Early Decision candidates have subsequently been admitted at a rate comparable to Columbia’s overall acceptance rate.
The Committee encourages you in the interim to let us know of any significant new achievements since your Early Decision application was submitted; please report these by mail or email to ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu no later than February 1, 2017. We will, of course, also rely on receiving your mid-year grades from your school as soon as they are available.
We appreciate the interest you have expressed in Columbia by your Early Decision application. That commitment will be kept in mind when your case is evaluated again

think about your interests and how you will contribute it to the campus. ex. creating clubs with personal passions or interests. I hope this is clear.
anyone willing to share their community impact essay would be great for me too. do you guys think saying community service is too broad?
