^ yeah, worst year ever for applying EA, as more applicants than ever seem to be trying to get ahead of the game, which sort of makes EA WORSE than normal admissions this year. The problem is that schools might be deferring anyone outside their SURE ADMIT statistical range… allowing RD to take the time to get to know the person outside their SAT/GPA comfort zone because EA doesn’t have that time due to the huge increase in apps this year.

P.S. The one person I know at University of Portland absolutely loves it. 25/75 ave. SAT is 1195, well below your D’s scores. It’s worth a shot if she likes USeattle (i.e. can deal with the northwestern cold rain).
