I just received an email from GULC. They said that my application has been reviewed in the early action, but the Committee has decided to defer making a final decision on until they have a better sense of this year's applicant pool. Therefore, my application will be reviewed again along with the Regular Action applicants.
Has anyone received similiar emails? Though it is better than rejection, it's still a disappointment for those who are waiting anxiously for AD.

I got the exact same email!

I heard rumors saying that the Committee is kinda unfriendly to college students without working experiences, that these applicants are usually not considered until the end of the application cycle.
