Hello everyone,
I got accepted to a graduate school, but I was considering deferring my admission for 1 year.
I talked to the office and admission, and they told me that a deferral is not available.
****It is worth mentioning that I still haven't paid the deposit, nor have I accepted the school's offer (both a scholarship and admission).
My question is should I have done this process oppositely? Meaning, should I have paid the deposit first, accept the admission, and only then try to defer the admission? The guy I spoke to from the admission told me that in this case my deposit would not have been refunded - and that I'd actually need to reapply.
Was he lying? I know that each school has its own policy, but I assume that they might tell prospect students that deferral is not possible - so that those students don't accept scholarship offers and admissions and then deffer.
Any thoughts?

HWPO:
What was the reason you used for being granted a deferral?
It sounds like he is following the standard policies. Deferrals for graduate schools are usually granted for extenuating circumstances. I suspect you are going to hear about many people in a similar situation get turned down for deferrals this year because of Covid-19. After all the disruption to university classes this past year, these schools are ready to get back to normal and aren't going to be as lenient.
Additionally, would answering any of these questions be helpful or actionable? I wouldn't revisit coulda, woulda, shoulda. It's done unless you can somehow appeal the decision, which is probably unlikely.
I hope you enjoy the experience if you decide to attend. If you reapply next year, good luck.
