Does anyone know if deferrals during ED 1 and EA are authentic or just colleges being polite? It seems like they are given out like candy these days. My D has a friend who applied to one of the most competitive schools in the country with very little rigor, not very good test scores, but decent grades. This person was deferred. It made us think that colleges don’t take the deferrals seriously. Thoughts?
