Deferred usually applies to not being accepted at ED or EA time, but not rejected either. They’ll have another look at you at RD time.

Waitlisted usually applies to RD time, when you’re not accepted or rejected, but put in limbo, awaiting a later decision by the school, as it fills any remaining seats (sometimes there are some, sometimes not).
