no affect on chances?

<p>i applied early decision to cornell with a 1430 SAT (2140), 33 ACT, and 790,790 sat2's.</p>

<p>at the beginning of this year i was ranked 10 out of 365 with a weighted gpa of 98.15 out of 100.</p>

<p>i was deferred.</p>

<p>this semester my weighted gpa is 102.53 and it has upped my gpa to 98.99 and my rank to 5 or 6 out of 365.</p>

<p>I don't know what deferral-acceptance rates for cornell are, but I would just like to know if it's safe for me to assume that my chances are better for RD than they were for ED, even though ED has a higher acceptance rate.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>they'll like that you kept going strong and improved in school. perhaps that is what is needed to push you over the edge into the acceptance pile</p>

<p>... maybe you should submit a letter saying that Cornell is still your #1 school and that you would attend if accepted? I've heard that really helps the deferred applicants. I think deferral acceptance rates are lower btw. (It doesn't really matter though, you could be the small percent that gets in.)</p>
