<p>Does this every happen? Because I got deferred, do I even have any chance of getting in regular??</p>
<p>I think the fact that you got deferred vs. being straight out rejected does say that you are still a viable candidate. just continue to do well and keep the school updated (make sure you send in your mid year report) as to any new developments.</p>
<p>I know at least two people who were deferred and then accepted.</p>
<p>It does happen. </p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>~10% of people who have been deferred get accepted, many of them are athletes/legacies. But there are a few students who really improve in the second half of senior year or make an impression on the admissions office between now and April. Good luck</p>
