S3 Q&A The school deferred me to the next intake - is that bad?

 Not usually - a deferral often just means this intake filled up or your file finished late, and your admission rolls to the next start date. Check whether the new date still fits your status clock, and confirm whether anything - a deposit or updated documents - is needed to hold the seat. Tell me the new start date and your status end date, and I'll check they line up.
