<p>Take my advice with a grain of salt: I’m just a fellow applicant as well. But it looks like your ACT and GPA is fine (I wouldn’t worry about SAT, I think ACT compensates). Also, it looks good that you have ECs that relate to your interest. That being said, you were deferred so I would say that the chances are a bit lower. I can’t speak for Cornell, but I was deferred from Dartmouth and they said that a very few amount of deferred applicants are accepted RD.<br>
All I can say is that I think you are a competitive candidate, and you shouldn’t give up hope, but I would look at other schools like Cornell caliber (If you’ve already applied to those schools, then start looking at potential majors etc. at those schools).</p>

<p>Hope that helped!</p>
