<p>If you were deferred, they aren’t failing to provide the service as they will read your application for regular decision. If there were cutoffs, then they would have made them only so they can make their EA deadline. Now, if a cutoff was in place for regular decision, then there is a problem. That said, I have no idea if there were cutoffs, just adding that if there were, it isn’t a disservice for EA if it was made for time constraints, and your application will be reviewed in RD.</p>
