The key word there is "automatic".

Possibly so. All I know is that when I registered for the draft I was automatically assigned 2S as a college student.

What year were you 2S? If it was after 1966, the *automatic* part ended Jan 1966.

2S means you were granted school deferment.

1A means you are headed to the military.
