Can you elaborate on the classification of undergrads as grad students while working towards their combined BS / MS? I thought it was the opposite— that they would be classified as undergrad throughout because they hadn’t yet gotten their BS. That’s what my son’s college is indicating, although they won’t come straight out and say it.
You’ll have to look at the specific program at your school and discuss with advisers and financial aid. For many programs, once you complete the requirements for undergrad, you’re classified as a grad student, despite not yet having the degree.
I’m familiar with the Penn programs. For Wharton, you’re are a grad student for the last 2 years of the 5 year program.

For programs in CAS, it may vary.

#### Financial Aid
Students on financial aid who are considering submatriculation are urged to consult with Student Registration and Financial Services (SRFS) before applying. The calculation of tuition and eligibility for undergraduate financial aid may be affected by enrolling in graduate courses, even during the regular eight semesters of the student’s undergraduate program. Some programs require students to become graduate students after their fourth year in the College, which is likely to mean that their tuition is no longer covered by undergraduate financial aid. Again, consultation with SRFS is essential.
As the OP, I haven’t recognized the content for quite some time.
It was interesting to consider a recent thread I saw about “unreasonably large waiting lists” versus the idea that all notifications shouldn’t come at the same time. Maybe my thoughts about the brutal nature of telling 95% of the applicants no at the same time was wrong. Maybe they are only telling 80% (or less)?
To your point, I think this discussion is just about out of new perspectives.
This seems to have been the situation at Senior House, which according to a number of sources was home to a disproportionate number of minorities, LGBTQ+ students, first generation students, lower SES students, and students from at risk socioeconomic backgrounds.
Agreed. Closing
