<p>Hey
So I got a letter saying that I am a strong candidate and they want me to send my 7th semester grades. Nowhere in the letter did they use the word deferred. On WA it has 7th semester grades under credentials. Am I deferred or are they just not going to make a decision until my 7th semester grades are in?</p>
<p>Anyones deferred letter actually use the word deferred?</p>
<p>no…from wat i’ve heard, ur deferred when u get a letter and a “7th semester grade” thing, not yet proven tho. when did u see the 7th semester grade thing coming out?and the letter?</p>
<p>deferred in not in the actual letter, I got it today.</p>
