<p>bmom: sorry I didn’t clarify my situation, it must have left you wondering what happened to me. aha!</p>
<p>Well here it is… I am international and my country requires us boys to serve in the military for two years, so I applied last year and got admitted to SC. However, I only found out about their no-deferral policy after I got admitted, which is different from the local unis in my country where we can defer and keep our offer for two years. Thankfully SC allowed me to reapply this year without actually having to send anything in, as they held on to my entire application package and all the materials I sent in Dec 2007. So they basically reevaluated my app this year and accepted me again :)</p>
