<p>Penn's LSM is my #1 program that I would like to attend and I am thinking of applying ED next year. However, after that there are still a couple of other schools on my list before Penn CAS.</p>
<p>So, in the case that I am rejected from LSM ED next year, lets say I am accepted into my backup (CAS). Because I would have applied ED, would I be binded to go to Penn CAS or would I have the chance to apply to other schools during the RD round before making my decision?</p>
<p>Thanks guys !</p>
<p>You have the option of selecting ED for LSM ONLY and having your application deferred to non-binding regular decision to your backup (either Wharton or CAS) if you don’t get in.</p>
<p>Ah kbolisetty23 we meet again !</p>
<p>Thanks for the info, that’s reassuring to hear. Do you think I would be at a slight disadvantage if I went with that option, and they saw that Penn in general wasn’t my #1? Thanks !</p>
<p>I don’t think you are at a disadvantage if you choose that option. I did not elect to bind myself to regular CAS, and I still got into LSM ED, for what it’s worth.</p>
