<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I was deferred from Brown earlier this year. I did some research after being deferred. I don’t think it’s a bad sign neccesarily, but I do think it’s a little harder to get in after being deferred. </p>
<p>The reason being–schools, at least Brown, normally accept 10 percent of their deferrees. So it’s about the same admission rate as it is for the regular decision applicants, but it’s from a slightly more competitive pool because all these applicants were deferred–none of them were neccesarily rejects. </p>
<p>I’m not sure if anyone gets what I’m saying?</p>
