I just got deferred from Cornell Arch and I’m unsure of how to take steps in the right direction to improving my application. I was planning on sending a supplement of why Cornell and bolstering my portfolio. Any thoughts?

I got deferred from my first choice college, got admitted, earned honors, and now I represent them. Keep it up, and keep on moving.

By supplement and bolstering you mean a big pile of Benjamins, right?

You have the right idea. You need to make an effort and demonstrate your continued interest in Cornell and why you are a highly qualified candidate. Build a persuasive case and avoid begging. If you haven't visited the campus and personally met with the admissions staff and the architecture faculty, now would be a good time.

In addition to the above, you do need to have a plan B with another school that you wouldn't mind attending. If you are wait listed at Cornell, you must be have fairly strong qualifications, there are many non-Ivy schools that would be happy to have you and probably give you some scholarships or other incentives to get you to attend.
