Was anyone deferred for early decision at Bates College?

I heard a rumor that Bates College did not defer anyone in their early decision round. Does anyone have anything to confirm or deny this?

I can confirm that the rumor is false, as I have seen at least one deferral letter. I see deferral as a disappointment, but more importantly it is an opportunity to apply and get accepted to another college which wants you and may be a better fit
