this is how they wrote: "The faculty committee reviewed their interview with you favorably, though they have placed you on the wait list for Fall 2021."
and also wow I just found out this forum today!!! How come i never discovered this place haha.
Yale waitlisted here : (
and same, the letter makes me wondering if it's not for the deferrals I might just get in? (also when I just checked this morning 'maybe you would have been a first round acceptance in a normal year' disappeared? Do they edit the letter after they sent out? )
Also I somehow thought all the people got interview but did not get in the first round will be waitlisted but seems there're people got rejected?
