So it seems that a huge amount of people got deferred. What are you planning to do to followup? Letter of continued interest to regional admissions rep?
A nicely worded “you are my #1 choice” letter couldn’t hurt.
Also, just throwing it out there, my daughter was deferred two years ago. All I recollect her doing in response was hating everyone and everything, especially the college admission process. 
When she got in during the regular admissions round, she cried so hard that when she called me I couldn’t understand a word she was saying.
Obviously, she wasn’t picked for honors and no merit, but decent financial aid. She has had an amazing experience at Northeastern. She is currently finishing her first week at the first co-op at MIT Lincoln Laboratories.
The moral of the story: don’t give up hope. Good luck & aloha.
