I am so confused with my deferral

Hi guys so I applied ed to northeastern and i was sure I got rejected. But today I received an email saying:

"Thank you for your interest in Northeastern University. As noted in your decision letter, we have offered you the opportunity to defer your application to the Regular Decision applicant pool to be reconsidered for admission at that time.

To confirm your interest in deferring your application to the Regular Decision applicant pool, please log-in to your application status check.

To withdraw your application and no longer be considered a candidate for admission, please log-in to your application status check or email admissions@northeastern.edu."

But when I log into my application status check, I just see my rejection letter. I am very confused, does anyone know what this means???

So sorry, no one should have this happen!! Unfortunately it sounds like Northeastern may have sent the email in error. This does happen occasionally. For example, there were some Tulane early applicants erroneously informed that they were accepted last month, and Tulane retracted the decisions. Very sad, and makes a stressful time even harder. The only way to know for sure is to contact admissions directly. Best of luck to you!!

Log into the application status check and see what it says now. Does it still say rejected?

I was rejected! Sorry for the late response.
