do most business schools allow deferrals?
Question by backbeat: do most business schools allow deferrals?
I want to go to business school for non-profit management. My existing job is pretty disappointing so I began the process thinking I would attend this coming fall. However, the resignation of my ED has opened up the possibility that we would hire a really solid ED and turn the organization around, in which case I would be interested in staying another year. It seems that most b-schools are pretty stringent with deferalls. Is it worth applying now and possibly having my deferral request rejected (assuming I get in somewhere). Or should I wait a year to see how things play out and then apply next fall for the fall of 2009? Thanks!

It’s unlikely that you’d be allowed to defer under those circumstances. More importantly, it’s not a good idea to go after an MBA just because you’re unhappy with your current employment, unless the unhappiness is symptomatic of a greater dissatisfaction with your current career track or your ability to perform your duties. If the school senses that you’re ambivalent about applying right now, your odds of getting accepted in the first place go down. Either stick it out and tell yourself you’ll get a great essay out of the experience, or go and don’t look back.
