Deferred - Released from my Commitment to Early Decision

Applying to College

<p>If you are deferred to regular admission, you are automatically released from your early decision requirement to attend, correct? I am convinced that you are, but my DD wanted me to confirm this with you folks. It is for Boston University, where we had to sign a binding Boston University ED commitment.</p>

<p>The contract is voided as you were deferred, and are no longer considered an “Early Decision” candidate.</p>

<p>shoot4moon, Younger son was deferred from VT for ED in 2009-the info on the website and the deferral letter made it clear he was released to go elsewhere if he wanted to. I would imagine it would be similar at any school but in doubt check BU’s website or contact admissions directly.Good luck to your daughter!</p>

<p>Hmm…I looked: BU’s web site is actually maddeningly vague about this.</p>

<p>But, yeah, how on earth could it be otherwise?</p>

<p>Deferred means you did not get in as an ED candidate. There is no requirement to attend if admitted RD later on.</p>

<p>This. It is this way for all ED schools.</p>
