Question about applying to Wharton ED?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Pennsylvania

<p>I heard from a current Wharton student that if you apply to wharton early and get deferred, you get to choose if you wanna be evaluated for wharton or the college in RD. Is this true?</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure this isn't true. I'll check for you though.</p>

<p>After being deferred from Wharton they let you select the college for RD?</p>

<p>I looked over the application and I didn't see on quick perusal where you would identify that option to the adcom folks. If it is not on the app I find it hard to understand how the option would kick in........look closely and call admissions. These policies can change year to year and you will want to be fully informed from an authority......email or call the admissions office.</p>

<p>Way to delete your message dude. Now I look silly.</p>

<p>I went to the application and read it and I don't see a specific mention of the alternative you inquired about......I did the best I could to answer you....why does that make you look silly???</p>

<p>No, the only people who can deem second choice placement from the business school are Huntsman program applicants. If they get turned down by Huntsman, they can still attend Penn as regular Wharton students. But general Wharton applicants do not have the option of falling back on the CAS if they don't get into Wharton...</p>

<p>hmm, weird.</p>

<p>thats good isn't it. otherwise you'd have a lot more kids who get deferred from Wharton, go to CAS, and then have business school in the back of their minds all four years. I think UPENN is trying to better their other schools and having all these business defers going into the college with Wharton dreams at night won't help exel the other programs.</p>

<p>That's same for Jerome Fisher and Vangelo as well. The 3 JD programs have fallback plans</p>
