riverrunner - here is 2nd para of letter (my abbrev):
"If you wish to be reevaluated in RegDec, pls mail or fax the encl form by Jan 7. We require that you also send us your first sem or sec trim transcript from your sr yr. This info will help us review your sr yr academic progress and make a more informed final decision on your appl. In recent yrs, about 1/3 of students who elected to be deferred were eventually offered admission.

All RD freshman applicants will receive final notice of our admission decision by Apr 1."

So they’re only asking for grades but if this is where your friend’s D wants to go, then she should make sure the school knows and do what she can. When we were on the SCU campus tour, the adm rep AJ said that girls typically apply to 10-12 schools and tell them all they’re her first choice. There’s probably some truth to that but my D applied to 3 EA and only told one it was her first choice.

There is some good info in a series of articles at this site:

Hope this helps and good luck!
