Gooder - agree with your comments and sorry you were deferred. This process is beyond baffling. My daughter was accepted EA into Nova business, but she was deferred EA at both Notre Dame and Boston College.
Stats fairly similar to yours yet got the exact opposite outcomes at these 3 schools.
Confusing and frustrating.
