Clear Admit Event: Insights into Deferred Enrollment MBA Programs, November 16th

Is a deferred enrollment program the right fit for you? Full-time MBA programs traditionally require several years of full-time work experience. But deferred enrollment MBA programs allow candidates to apply – and secure a seat in a future class – during their senior years of college. What makes someone a good fit for this kind of program? And how are deferred enrollment programs structured? Hear directly from leading programs on these important topics by viewing the video of our recent event here.
In this 90-minute panel event, we will speak with representatives from leading MBA programs to learn about their deferred enrollment opportunities. Specifically, we will cover:
- Program structure
- Why schools offer these kinds of programs
- Who makes a good fit for deferred enrollment
This event will feature each of our participating schools in a panel discussion where they will take pre-submitted questions from registered attendees. If you have a question for the panel, register for the event and include your question so that we can include it in the event! Register today and if you can’t make it, we will send you a recording of the event. Hope to see you on November 16th!

I am a deferred MBA applicant with a strong international background, having studied and worked across India, the UK, and the USA. Currently, I am completing a full-time Co-op at Master Electronics, where I focus on business analytics, strategy, and supply chain optimization. Additionally, I have completed three internships in strategy consulting, supply chain, and business intelligence, which have helped me develop a strong foundation in data-driven decision-making, global supply chains, and strategic problem-solving.
Academically, I hold a 3.60 GPA and a 327 GRE score (164V, 163Q, 5.0 AWA). Beyond academics, I have demonstrated leadership and teamwork through winning 11 intramural soccer trophies at Arizona State University. A defining moment of resilience in my journey was recovering from a trimalleolar ankle fracture, during which I successfully managed my internship, academics, and physiotherapy without falling behind.
My global business interests are reflected in projects such as the Nestlé class project, where I explored strategic solutions for market expansion, and the Vibrant Smile Joint Venture project, a simulated strategy project in my MGT 459 class, where my team and I developed a market entry strategy for an electric toothbrush company. These experiences have further fueled my passion for strategy, consulting, and business transformation.
Post-MBA, I am looking to work in strategy consulting, corporate strategy, or analytics-driven leadership roles, ideally in the USA, Europe (France/Spain), or UAE. I am drawn to an MBA for its ability to sharpen my strategic thinking, leadership skills, and global career opportunities. Given my background, I would love feedback on how to best position my profile for top Deferred MBA programs like Kellogg, Wharton, Darden, Haas, and Yale.
