Agree with @bluebayou per easier admissions in the past. Did a bit of research regarding Penn as a former applicant. Class of ‘82 acceptance rate approx. 50%! Times change and it only matters in the here and now.
any stats on school of education acceptances/deferrals?
@jilliann718 did you get admitted during RD? where are you from?

I was on a tour at BC and they said that geographic diversity is important to them. Is there any truth to this?
yes there is. If you are the only applicant from say, Alaska, your app will get a long look.
