curious, in a recent year, my son was deferred and then admitted to NU. We found out that about 1/2 of the deferred students were eventually accepted. Maybe 5 years ago, NU did not defer at all from ED. Just accept/deny but they changed to defer a very small group who were truly borderline. It was made very clear to my son that they were looking to see mid-year grades.

It would seem to me that the letter from Admissions which you cite is worded that they only anticipate offering admission to a small number because they only defer a small number to begin with!
