Finally, the college replied yesterday saying Jan 2023 intake is full and they can only put us on the waitlist. What does that mean?
I also want to ask everyone who have gone through or going through deferrals. If I ask for Jan 2023 which is waitlisted, will I be still eligible for May 2023 intake or is it only one time I can ask? How to deal with deferral scenario at best?
Regarding being waitlisted,
@parrots said it perfectly in her reply.
As for deferral policies, each DLI has its own. My wife's DLI allowed her to defer two times without any issues and they even told her, she could defer again and that any paid fees would carry to her new term. However, it seems most DLIs only allow one deferral, so ask your DLI and be completely sure about their rules. Ask them about how many times can you defer? What happens to the money you've paid? Ask them EVERYTHING.
About being waitlisted, know that in this scenario, you could receive an official acceptance any day, maybe even a few weeks before the start of the program. This means you will have to plan everything and buy tickets in a hurry. So, take it into consideration. Good luck!
