I also wanted to know about the deffered candidates prospects. Very keen on going to CLS but from the threads it appears that deferral is only a tep short of rejection.

Has anyone who got deffred got through in the past??

I know at least two guys who were deferred and are now in Columbia. Good luck guys! There is still hope!

I still have hope yet as a deferred applicant.

Though I have been admitted to Cornell too - which puts my mind at rest a little.
