why do ppl hate deferrals?

I mean thinking about it, a waitlist or a deferral is NOT a rejection?? you should be proud tbh. The college you would die for liked your application enough to not reject it. There are people who got rejected out there and you did not. You should always be proud no matter the outcome, a deferral is something you shouldn’t be sad about. I know it can be frustrating, wanting to go to that specific college, but let’s be honest, not getting rejected from a college with an acceptance rate of 0.0001092% is impressing.
