My tracker changed to deferred Jan 20 and my communication center states “Strong def.” Are there different levels of being deferred?
can i ask what your stats were? i was deferred today too. Yesterday the tracker said “very carefully considering” and deferred today? i’m so nervous i am not going to get in. do you know the turn around time on avg for deferred?
@lillie00 - this is the first year that UMN has offered deferral as an outcome so w/o asking an AO it’s hard to know what “strong def.” actually means. It does have a hopeful ring to it 
Here’s what I found on the subject (from CC no less!):
“Occasionally, reps may comment on the “degree” of deferral. That is, s/he might say something like, “Julie was a high (or strong) deferral,” or some similar comment.”
