Defer Decision?

[Lynne]

On the application status for one of my schools, it reads: Defer Decision. I have looked online to try and find what exactly this means about my application process, but I have found only information from other schools saying that they will just be putting my decision on the back burner until later. However, in my missing information, it says that I "need final transcript" and "admission of seniors." If I have to turn in my final transcript, does that mean that they won't make a decision about my application until May?

You're asking questions that no one here is going to be able to answer without knowing the specific university you're talking about. Your best bet is to call the graduate school office (not the department you applied to!) and ask them what that status means.
