<p>Being deferred is much, much better than waitlisted correct? Deferred just means you reenter the app pool and are compared to RD applicants, correct? Waitlist means if they misjudged the amount of people that accept you could be offered admissions?</p>
<p>I believe waitlisted is exactly that...you are put on a list and forced to wait until the other accepted applicants enroll. If there is enough room for more, they will start pulling people from the waitlist. If not...bummer.</p>
