<p>Does anyone know Swarthmore's policy (or have an educated guess) on students admitted from the waitlist requesting to defer enrollment? Does Swarthmore treat all admits equally and allow any student to defer, or are waitlisted admits not permitted to defer?</p>
<p>Congratulations on your acceptance.</p>
<p>I do not know for sure, but I don't believe that a waitlist acceptance is different in any way from a regular acceptance.</p>
<p>If it were me, I would probably send in my deposit to confirm your acceptance and then explore deferal procedures if that's what you want to do.</p>
