Visit ManhattanGMAT.comTougher to defer nowadays
Businessweek reported last week that it’s getting harder and harder to get many business schools to defer your offer of admission for a year. Some business schools are even trying to curtail the practice altogether. So don’t plan on applying a year early and hope they’ll keep a seat warm for you. If you find yourself in this position, the comforting thought is if they let you in once already, they ought to just let you in again.
On the bright side, your GMAT score will still be good!
