<li>Do not lose hope.</li>
<li>APPLY to other schools, both reaches and safeties</li>
<li>Send in a letter of interest some time in January. Outline WHY cornell is right for you! Make it clear you are still interested!</li>
<li>Perhaps send in another letter of recommendation</li>
</ol>

<p>Guys, it’s not over. I know plenty of people who were deferred and are either at Cornell or will be when their guaranteed transfer has been completed <em>cough</em> (me). </p>

<p>I know how it feels, but it could have been worse. PM me any questions you have. I would be MORE than happy to help you guys out.</p>

<p>I did all four things mentioned, and it worked out for me as well. Got a letter of recommendation from my school principal vouching for my "character," and also sent a letter of interest in January.</p>

<p>^ hah! my principal called Cornell with me sitting right next to him, and he gave a verbal recommendation. it was pretty neat since at first i hated the man. then again, half of me just thinks he wanted me to get in so that we had an ivy acceptance, but I prefer to not listen to that half.</p>
