<p>I have seen some strange things in the couple of years our kids have been through the college app process, and your deferral from Tulane with the stats you have is high on the list of perplexing stories. I hope you get into BC, good luck. One of my children is there and absolutely loves it.</p>

<p>I think you will definitely get in to BC, most likely ND as well! Your deferral from Tulane was an insane decision on their part…</p>

<p>Best of luck fellow Chicagoan!</p>
