My fear is that the schools will say:
"Med school our your bonus...you pick."
While deferrals are granted, they tend to be rare, and for very good reasons, like for illness or life issues.

Do not ask for a deferral until you have been accepted.
We don't rescind for asking. It may not be granted, though.

What are the consequences of asking too soon? Are they basically what I laid out above, or something else entirely?
What about in the case of being wait-listed?

Some schools specifically say on their websites that deferrals can't be granted for people getting off the waitlist (ex. NYMC), while other schools don't mention anything.
It presumes facts not in evidence, this is not the impression you want to give.
