No one can pinpoint a particular reason, but I’ll list out a few suggestions as to why you may have been deferred.

“introductory spanish” - Have you not taken a formal language course for at least two years? While this may not be a requirement, it’s still VERY common for most applicants to competitive colleges to complete, at the minimum

You have great ECs, but any leadership?

Not taking AP Calculus BC may be a slight disadvantage, as the great majority of applicants will have had taken that by the end of their senior year.

I don’t think the disciplinary infraction affected their decision whatsoever.

Anyway, good luck in the regular round!
