<p>My S was deferred here in Fairfield CT. BTW many posters are stating they are "waitlisted." I don't believe you can be waitlisted on the EA round.. You are instead "deferred" to the RD round. Your application will be reviewed again at that time along with all the other RD applicants. At least that's what my son's letter said.</p>
