<p>If someone apples Early Action and gets deferred …what does this usually mean??</p>
<p>Well for one, BU only has Early Decision, which is similar to Early Action but it is binding. If you get accepted, you must go no matter what.</p>
<p>If one gets deferred during the ED he or she has neither been accepted nor rejected. The admissions committee will reevaluate the applicant and notify them if they have been accepted or rejected during the RD round. Getting deferred is almost like getting another chance.</p>
