<p>I dunno… I feel absolutely nothing right now after being deferred.</p>
<p>However, they deferred a much larger number of applicants than last year…am I the only one thinking that they couldn’t finish reading applications and moved all of them into the deferral pile?</p>
<p>Got to go do my other applications now. ■■■</p>
<p>@ onewayonly… congrats!</p>
<p>Yeah, you should be able to log back on any time and watch the bulldog again. and again. and again.</p>
<p>Congrats to all those accepted and best of luck to everyone. College apps are such an insane process.</p>
