<p>General Comments:
This wasn’t unexpected at all. In fact, I’m surprised I got deferred rather than rejected outright. I know how random this whole process is and for me, it just wasn’t meant to be. I’m so happy for those who got it because you’ll be able to attend my dream school. Hello Regular Decision!</p>
<p>You’re definitely in for regular or atleast some ivy! Good luck!</p>

I was in your shoes a couple of years ago, neck deep in college application ********. And now here I am, procrastinating two days before my finals. If you guys have any questions for someone who went through the whole college app process and came out with his -mostly, anyway- sanity intact, you can ask away.</p>
