<p>Just got this message today:</p>

<p>Thank you for your application to University of the Pacific. After careful consideration of your application and supporting documents, it is the Admission Committee's decision to defer final action on your application until our regular review period in the spring.</p>

<p>We believe that with additional information we will be able to assess more accurately your academic talent and potential for success at Pacific. Please request that your guidance counselor send to the Office of Admission a transcript reflecting your complete Fall 2012 semester/quarter grades, if you have not already done so.</p>

<p>You will be notified of the admission committee's decision no later than April 1, 2013.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, my senior grades didn't improve too much. I'm at about 3.65 weighted and 3.5 unweighted. I got a 28 on the ACT. I do a ton of extra curricular however. Am I destined to fall? Is a deferral an a denial?</p>

<p>A deferred applicant ISN’T the same thing as a rejected applicant. Deferred means you get another shot during Regular Decision. The university thinks you are still competitive enough to be given another chance.</p>
