<p>My daughter applied and got deferred. I’m assuming what you said is accurate- that there are 3 deferral letters. Do you happen to know if the kids who got deferral letter #1 eventually get accepted? Also, do you really know someone who got deferred and then the next day got accepted? I never heard of that before. Is this common or just an anomaly?
Thanks and good luck to you!</p>
