I haven no way of knowing and this is only an honest opionion. I would expect you may be deferred. But only to see continued strength in your senior grades. If strong, you have have a great reasonable chance as all the other solid students like you. Best of luck

@privatebanker would being a math major help my odds in any way?

It depends on so many other factors. Like a regression analysis. I don’t know without all the other inputs and independent variables.
