Good News: they deferred less students this year than previous years. They said they planned to defer 1400 applicants instead of the 2,000 or so from the previous year. The fact that you were deferred is a decent sign considering they could have flat out rejected you.

Bad News: the acceptance rate from the deferral pool is fairly low: about 15-20%. So that means they will likely only accept 200-250 of the deferred applicants.
