<p>really? i thought that a deferral from cornell would mean rejection from the upper ivies</p>

<p>I’ve heard of people who get rejected from Stanford/Ivies and get accepted to Harvard. I really think it depends on how well the college thinks you’re a fit based on your personality and extracurriculars, rather than a blanket “if I didn’t get in to B I certainly won’t get into A.”</p>

<p>A deferral’s definitely not the end of the world, especially if you take the time to improve on your essays and application!</p>
