<p>idk about others, but I'm proud as fsckin h3ll about my deferral. I gave it my best shot, and will keep giving my best shot as i try to make my application stronger over the next few months. Its not a loss, its another shot at a victory! >D</p>

<p>Ne way, a quick question for any and all: Does anyone know the % of deferred that actually get in in the RD round? anyone at all? it would really help!</p>

<p>Sry it took so long to come and post my desicion, i was watching Oceans 12. Niiiice movie, so if u feel like u wanna shake off the rejection, or celebrate your acceptance, thats a good movie to catch ;)
