<p>I’m not sure about your chances after being deferred, but if you read the posts from December, when Early Action candidates were notified, many great students with great test scores, GPAs, etc, were deferred, including my son. He has a 31 on his ACT and a 3.8, with lots of great ECs, recs, he’s even a published author. Most of the kids being accepted had 33s and above on their ACTs. Our advisor thinks our son will still be accepted, but we don’t know what to think. Good luck to you - hang in there.</p>
