<p>I heard people applying to programs like Huntsman and Jerome Fisher etc...</p>
<p>For these programs, if we apply for those and be rejected, do rejected applicants become rejected from the university or go back to normal pool with other ED applicants who did not apply for those programs?</p>
<p>You are then considered for one of the schools of your dual degree, such as Wharton or engineering, which you specify on your app.</p>
<p>then do they have an advantage over someone who didnt apply for dual degree?</p>
<p>Absolutely no advantage whatsoever. You’re thrown back into the general pool and you’re no different from all the other applicants.</p>
<p>Can you be deferred from a dual degree program if the second choice school is also ED? I.E. dual degree primary Ed and like Wharton Ed secondary? Or can you only be deferred from the single degree school if rejected from the dual degree?</p>

<p>I’m not %100 sure, but as much as I know:
M&T reviews your app only once. If you get rejected ED. You go to the general ED pool. Then like others: ED Accepted 2nd choice. ED Rejected 2nd choice. Deferred 2nd choice…</p>
<p>I encourage you to call Penn Admissions and ask.</p>
<p>Babolat1 - I don’t believe that you can get “deferred / waitlisted” to a dual degree program like Huntsman in the ED round, as that would end up bouncing you to the RA round for your 2nd choice too (Wharton?) instead of the ED round for your 2nd choice that you’d probably prefer (and put you at a disadvantage for your 2nd choice of programs by going RA round versus ED round since there’s a higher acceptance rate in the ED round).</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of someone applying to Huntsman in the ED round get waitlisted. You’ll get a “yes” or a “no”. If “no” then you’ll, per what you put on your app, either be considered for your 2nd choice of schools in (1) ED round, (2) RA round, or (3) not considered at all if you were “dual degree program or I don’t want to attend UPenn”.</p>
<p>My S applied to M&T last year with an ED second choice. When he checked the decision portal on ED Day he was admitted to his second choice. Penn was silent as to M&T which I thought was odd but yet when you think about it they focused on the positive instead of saying you were rejected from M&T but here consider this. Ivyparent is correct, it would get really confusing if people were deferred in the ED round when they have a second choice for ED. I have seen people post here that claim they were deferred in the ED round from a dual degree program but I do not recall if they said they didn’t choose an ED selection as a second choice.</p>
