Deferred Georgetown EA. Do I have any chance at these schools?

Chance Me / Match Me!

So I got deferred from Georgetown EA. I know it’s notorious for a lower EA acceptance rate than RD, but I’m still worried that it’s an indication of my regular results for some harder schools come regular decision.
My stats:
ACT: 35 C (36 E, 36 R, 36 S, 33 M) 9 on Writing
GPA: 4.37 W/3.5-6 UW. My school has a harder grading scale, so I have about 3.61 IF schools take my grading scale into consideration. I’m worried they won’t, which will hurt my UW GPA.
Class Rank: Top 10%
Classes: My school only offers about 5 APs, one of which I can’t take (I don’t take Spanish, I take Italian, which does not offer AP). I have taken all honors classes all 4 years. APUSH (AP test: 5) AP Physics, AP Calc
-Letters of Rec: From APUSH and Italian Teachers, will probably be very strong due to our strong relationships.
ECs:
-3-Year Soccer Player
-4-year Varsity Lacrosse player, Captain
-Model UN member
-Play the drums, guitar, piano, banjo, bass, and vocals; recorded music in-studio and performed live
-Play music at a children’s camp in the summer
-Artist, all kinds of mediums, took classes at the Art Institute
-President of the Service Team (Oversee ALL charities/drives/service programs done through the school)
-Youth Initiative (Run different programs for improving student life)
-School Ambassador (Selective program where students are chosen to represent the school at different functions
-Eucharistic minister
-National Honors Society
-National English Honors Society
-Math Honors Society
-Broadcast club (announce sports games)
-Illinois State Scholar
Common App Essay: I talked about how my design was chosen for a Veteran’s Memorial in my area, culminating in a 600-person attendance for the unveiling and a Congressional Medal of Honor speaker. I talk about how it came about through my desire to use my art to impact the community.

I do admit I don’t think my EA app was as strong as it could be. I didn’t have a letter of rec from my art instructor, and I did not submit an art & music portfolio, which I will for regular and I think it is very strong.
But I’m still worried about what the deferral is indicative of for certain hard schools:
EA Boston College
RD Dartmouth, Cornell, Vanderbilt, Tufts, Georgetown, Brown, Northwestern, UChicago
Will I have a chance at getting into any of those?

UPDATE: Got accepted at Villanova, Deferred from BC. Really bummed about BC, surely this means I’m screwed for those other colleges right?

I’d love for some feedback, thanks.

Bump

The ivy schools and UChicago are going to be fairly uphill with a 3.5 UW GPA.

I think you have a solid chance of BC regular decision. And you have a shot at Tufts, the other may be tough. You may want to add a few more likely schools to your list - GW, BU, Holy Cross, so you will end up with choices comes April

Deferred does not mean rejected.

And colleges are a mystery…my D made it to the “extended wait list” for Georgetown (a crazy thing that happens in June) and was finally rejected…but, in the meantime, she was accepted to 11 other colleges – including BU, UChicago, Tufts, etc.

Hi! Sorry I know this is several months late but I’ve kept in contact with my Georgetown interviewer and he was deferred early action and only knows 1 person who was accepted and not deferred from early action including when he went there, all his other friends, and all the people he’s interviewed as an alum. So don’t count yourself out. Congrats on Villanova.
