When I applied to Columbia last year, I got deferred and then waitlisted. It really hurt because it felt like the college process was going to last forever. Luckily, I eventually got in off of the waitlist after following all the waitlist advice I could find. The point is to keep your head up and do your best not to fall victim to self pity. If you really don't want to go anywhere else, you can take a gap year to strengthen your application and apply again next year. Don't forget that there are always options.

Problem with using early action deferrals or waitlist decisions as an opportunity to reassess and revise future applications or change your target list of schools is that the majority of regular decision applications are due on January 1st. Unfortunately, the majority of early action decisions aren't announced until after January 1st. Of course the majority of early decision results are posted around Mid-December, but most schools discourage you from applying to more than 1 school early decision (since you have to attend if accepted.) I'm not convinced that a single early decision deferral or waitlist is sufficiently statistically relevant to base any assumptions with regard to your existing target school list or to assess the relative strength of the application or associated essays.

@gracecatan8736

The whole deal with ED is that you're committing to go and promising to withdraw your other apps if you do get in. I definitely wouldn't break any part of your ED agreement because they can rescind your offer and may even tell other schools about what happened o other offers get rescinded. Usually there was a specific contract you had to sign or box you had to check, so I'd check your specific school's ED contract for the exact instructions/commitments (ED contracts usually exclude public schools and schools in other countries if you're applying to any of those kinds of schools, so you may be able to continue applying to those kinds of schools depending on your particular ED agreement). You can also contact the admissions office if you want to, though I think that could get awkward or embarrassing so I'd be careful with the way I word things. Straightest answer: yes, you have to unsubmit your other apps to honor your ED agreement and make sure they don't rescind your offer, but check the exact wording and expectations of your school's agreement to be sure.
