deferral/mid year grades

<p>but can we basically conclude that those who send in truly significant updates to their application (academically and extra curriculary/recs/essays etc) are truly helping their cases? </p>

<p>i mean, how are deferreds considered in the eyes of the admissions counselor? I wrote a guarantee on the letter i sent them, with the signature of my parents saying that should i be accepted to chicago, i would post my deposit back to them that very day.</p>

<p>^could it help? sorry for the spastic post.</p>
