<p>I’m sorry about your deferral. Good luck on the RD round!
Who told you they didn’t defer, though? I don’t think any college doesn’t defer, because there are always going to be a greater number of talented students than there are spots available; they’d either have to defer or deny. In fact, most colleges choose to defer the majority of their ED applicants that they don’t accept, precisely because they are all more than qualified and justly deserve another opportunity to apply.</p>
