Psychology of being Deferred

Does being deferred at one of your top schools cause you to start feeling better about the schools to which you have been accepted, while distancing yourself from the school that deferred you? Does the deferral create some animosity toward the school that deferred you? Do you have feelings like “This school actually wants me. This is where I now want to go (while shunning the school that deferred you).”

I’m just curious as to how others are reacting to the deferral.
