I was wondering if being deferred from Penn State is better/equivalent to being denied? I know of some people who were denied from UP and referred to a satellite campus but they were rolling admission so I don’t know if it’s different for EA. Does everyone from EA who doesn’t get accepted get deferred?
Folks from the EA admit pool are getting deferred because the Admission office has been overwhelmed with processing decisions. That said, it’s not a bad thing since you have not been outright denied admission. Just have to sit tight and wait longer.
