  Update Applicant Records: If the applicant is indeed accepted elsewhere and you still want to proceed with their application, you may need to update their status in the system or withdraw their acceptance from the other program.
  Consult with HR: If you are unsure about the applicant's status or how to proceed, consult with your HR department or the team responsible for managing applicant records. They may have additional insights or authority to make changes.
