Was anyone deferred from cornell university?

Yes, many people are deferred from Cornell University every year. Cornell, like many other highly selective universities, uses a deferred admission process. This means that applicants are neither accepted nor rejected outright but are instead placed in a holding pool to be reconsidered at a later date, usually in the spring. Deferred applicants then typically need to submit additional materials (often a mid-year report and updated transcript) for the university to make a final decision.
