Personal Story
"I was pretty confident that I could get into Cornell after I got deferred by Princeton in the fall. I figured that if I got deferred by Princeton I could definitely make it into Cornell. Turns out I was right.
I was excited, don't get me wrong, but I wasn't like super thrilled like some other people I knew."
Useful Advice
"I didn't do this, but I'd say that people should apply to their safety schools and semi-reach schools first in order to fall back on something when you apply to your dream schools and large reaches in the spring.
For example, if I could have done this again, I would have applied to Cornell early and gotten accepted, then I would have applied to Princeton and Harvard.
When you apply early to a semi-reach school and safety school you'll get the fall bump of applying early and increase your odds of getting in, and you'll have a great school to fall back on in case you get rejected by all your others."
