<p>“If you are a new undergraduate student and would like to defer your admission to another term, please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. If you wish to cancel or withdraw, please contact your college before canceling or withdrawing. If you cancel your registration, you will be required to submit a new admission application to attend a future semester.”</p>
<p>So yeah, it looks pretty positive. I would just be ready with your reasons for deferring, and convey them clearly and confidently. They’re not out to get you.</p>
