@gibby I think pushing down his point like that is uncalled for. You said a deferral is essentially a rejection - he is simply showing that it really isn’t. You have as good a shot as any applicant at that point for most schools, and in many schools, a better shot than average simply because they have already picked you as a possible acceptance or they would outright reject you. Are the odds in your favor? No. But you don’t need to shut his point down when he is living breathing proof that your blanket statement isn’t alway true
