deferred-what does it mean?

<p>Does anyone know how many kids get deferred ED? What percentage end up getting in? Any other info for the deferred applicant would be appreciated. Thanks!</p>

<p>I was just deferred from Early Decision 2 in February. It basically means that they want to see you in context with the regular application pool, so they defer your decision until April. I tried searching for a percentage of applicants that get accepted after a deferral, but could not find an accurate one for Pomona.
I will tell you what happens for me though! Hopefully that will help.</p>

<p>It’s entirely possible to get deferred then accepted - it happened to me!</p>

<p>WOW- Great news! Congrats!</p>
