<p>I could see how some of your schools would be reaches… but truthfully, I’m stunned you got deferred from Cornell ED. Stunned. I bet you get in later. Your GPA and SATs are definitely good enough for admission there, and your ECs aren’t bad either. Look over you app for grammar/spelling mistakes and make sure your essays are good. Some of your other schools are reaches, but Cornell should have absolutely accepted you ED.</p>
