What exactly does the deferral mean? Should I be worried?

<p>When I went to view my application status for my application to Indiana University (Bloomington), this is what it said...</p>

<p>Your application and academic credentials were carefully reviewed. Because of increased interest in Indiana University and the competitiveness of our applicant pool, we have deferred making a decision on your application for admission. Applications that have not received a decision will be reviewed again no later than mid-April. We encourage you to submit higher test scores or a more recent grade report if these materials will make your application more competitive.</p>

<p>I really would like to attend Indiana University and this has me worried. Should I be? Is there something I should do to help out my application or is there really no hope left?</p>

<p>You’re one the edge I think.</p>

<p>Like they asked, submit any newer grades and test scores.</p>
