HI my son applied EA to Villanova for the pre dental program with UPenn. He received a letter saying he was deferred. Does this mean he should assume he’s not getting in at all? The letter stated that he was now put with the regular decision applicants. Any help is appreciated.
Was your son deffered from Villanova or from the Upenn Program? If he was deferred from Villanova, then he was definitely rejected from the Upenn program unfortunately. Only students who are first accepted into villanova EA can have their applications forwarded to the Health Professions Advisor who then forwards the applications to Upenn for further review.
If admissions deferred your son from Villanova, the health professions advisor would not have been able to forward the application to Penn, which is probably past their application deadline.
Thanks for the reply, he has since heard from both Lehigh and Muhlenberg and had to submit a separate app to the UPenn dental program. Guess it just wasn’t in the cards for Villanova, but praying for Lehigh and Muhlenberg
