<p>How did you find out you were deferred? Is it on OPUS?</p>
<p>I think they send you a formed letter deferral via email and, if you are accepted as a semifinalist, you get an email telling you to check OPUS.</p>
<p>does anyone else still not have anything? i got accepted ED if that makes any difference...</p>

<p>General Comments: Although the majority of my peers go to top schools (15 went to Ivy League last year), I was the only one who applied to Emory this year and consequently was the only Emory Scholar Nominee. I knew I wasn't going to get it, but I did it anyway to increase my RD chances. I thought Emory would more likely accept me RD if my school nominated me. We will see come April 1st.</p>
