<p>Does this then put one in the regular application pool, reject one completely, or require one to apply again for the regular application?</p>
<p>It depends on the school as for whether they will reject or defer you if you’re not accepted.</p>
<p>You never have to reapply though (as far as I know).</p>
<p>If you are rejected, that’s it. No more chances for the next school year.</p>
<p>If you are deferred, you go into the regular admissions pool.</p>
<p>Correct, you don’t have to reapply (if you were deferred-- rejected means it’s over for you at that particular school), however, it can be a good idea, if you were deferred rather than outright rejected, to update the school with any new information or grades and/or a letter that would make your case stronger.</p>
