If you defer admissions to a school, does that mean that you are obligated to attend that school the following year and cannot apply to or attend other schools?

I don't know, but I also don't know why you would want to go through the grueling and expensive process again if you are already in at a school that you would actually go to.
 
by deffering you are contracted to go to that school the following year, atleast at TCOM
