<p>There are only two theories I can think of for Elon deferring you 1) If you applied for FA they are watching their $$ very closely, or 2) They think you will get into and go to a higher ranked school (like Tulane) and therefore want to keep their acceptance stats in line (if you believe in the “Tufts Syndrome”). Just guessing of course.</p>
