Thank you for the reply rising_star. I appreciate it. I request you to help me out with two more questions:
1. What is the difference between a deferral being granted after acceptance and a deferred decision? My situation is the first one, but just want to be sure.
2. In case there are a number of deferrals granted after acceptances, are they all accepted the next season or is there a further process of scrutiny to allow for only a few acceptances(from the deferrals) along with the fresh applicants?
Thanks again.
