Much Better to be Waitlisted Than Deferred

There are schools which could easliy fill their entire class with well qualified early applicants BUT they want to leave room for the regular application pool. Yes, I think your chances of acceptance are lower if you are deferred early but you still have a real shot. Waitlisting I think is sortof like the breakup line you use when you don’t want the person being rejected to feel bad – “Its not you, its me”== “You are qualified but we don’t have room” but I’ll keep you on the hook just in case it benefits me/the college later.
