If Eagle hasn't replied to your app, it may not be complete. Just to check, you did publish your app right (I know stupid question)? The other thing is go in and check the addendum. I had a problem where I would save my information and go back into it to update it and it would be blank. Your app will not get sent if the addendum is not complete.
As for applicants with degrees, Eagle looks very highly on those with a degree. When I did my interview they seemed impressed that I had one from a non-aviation related field. Having advanced degrees shows them that you are a better risk than those who do not have any with completing their program. You stand just as good a shot as anyone unless you have skeletons in your closet. Go through your app with a fine toothed comb and make sure there are no mistakes, and everything is presented how you want it to be (Eagle is BIG on attention to detail). Good luck to you!
