I requested a deferral for cal poly nearly a month ago that was accepted. I had initially asked on some cal poly affiliated discords about the possibility of deferral and most said it was impossible. I called cal poly and they said the total opposite; I just had to file for a medical deferral instead. Regarding UCSB, part of me suspects that because I was accepted off of a waitlist as opposed to being initially accepted deferral may not be as easily obtainable. I have yet to contact the UCSB admissions office which I plan on doing later today, so until then I can say nothing for certain.
