<p>If I apply for the huntsman program and don't get in, can i still get into the College of Arts and Sciences alone? Would my chances be diminished?</p>
<p>no. they would put you into the CAS pool</p>
<p>I think you have a choice of whether you would like to be considered for CAS or Wharton if you don't get into Huntsman--and no, your chances are not reduced for those.</p>
<p>Although if you game-theory it out, you might be able to infer that they presume you are less likely to want Penn if not admitted into the special unique program and so less likely to admit you unless you have shown a clear interest in Penn/CAS/Wharton beyond Huntsman</p>
