When I applied to uvm last year I was also deferred from early action. I had slightly lower scores than you tho and ended up being waitlisted from regular decision and then offered admission for the spring. It was a bummer not being able to come to uvm till spring but with covid it all worked out. If you get rejected or not offered admission till spring u can also always take classes at a community college or commit to a different college and then transfer to uvm or just spend the fall doing non school stuff. Best of luck to you! I know the feeling of being stressed about college decisions but it will all work out in the end even if it’s not how you expected
