<p>Honestly I think I’d rather be rejected than deferred. I think a deferral would just make me play agonizing mind games with myself, and then I’d likely be rejected in the RD round anyway (~95% chance…). At least with a rejection I could try to accept it and move on :(.</p>
<p>So while this whole thing is really depressing, and I’m realizing I have an even tinier shot than before…I’m glad they’re reducing the deferral list. Good luck everyone.</p>
