She has been accepted at Clemson, TCU, Loyola, Univ of Wisc. as well. Getting good money from TCU and Loyola, haven’t heard on final money from Clemson. Based on history at Nova, not sure if it is going to work, as it will likely be substantially more expensive unless merit comes at a later date.

Both Notre Dame and Georgetown are restrictive EA, which means you cannot apply Early Decision anywhere. However, it does not prevent you from applying Early Action to other schools since it is non binding just like regular Early Action.
@Gooder Congrats on your acceptances to ND, BC and GU. I am sorry about your deferral to Nova, but you have some amazing schools to choose from. My son was accepted to ND, BC and Nova, but I seriously wondered if he would be denied or deferred from Nova to protect yield. One reason is that he was nominated to apply for the Presidential Scholarship, and while he was planning to do so, once he got his acceptance to ND, he decided not to apply. I wondered if by not submitting his application (because they were expecting it), that would be a red flag that he lost interest in the school and they would deny to protect yield. Perhaps it was a similar situation for you? I do think that when people with your stats are denied at schools like this, it is generally yield protection. Something may have made them think you would choose another school. Are you a legacy at any of the other schools? Anyway, you should feel proud of your acceptances and it is wonderful to have so many great choices. Have you decided where to go? Also for what it’s worth, his stats were 36 ACT, 4.14 GPA weighted, 3.9 unweighted. We sent his subject tests and AP scores as well. All his stats are on the ND results page if you are interested.
