Our D23 was deferred to RD from ED 1 last year too. It was a tough day, especially right before Christmas.
In mid-February, she wrote a concise but thoughtful letter of continued interest and emailed it as an attachment to her regional AO. She talked about how Bates was always and remained her top choice, discussed highlights from campus tours, and probably most helpfully, she drew parallels between a few Bates programs and volunteer work that she was currently doing. She closed with letting them know that if she was admitted, she would attend. She was admitted RD, and is a very happy Bobcat. Hug those deferred kiddos tight, they will land in a great place.
