Deferred MBA in PE Recruiting

Hi everyone,

I'm curious as to whether putting a deferred MBA acceptance (HBS 2+2) on your resume during PE Recruiting from banking greatly helps for landing a gig or could work against you as firms know you'll be 2 years and out automatically? Would it be better to leave it off? Thanks in advance.

Could you provide some colour on how you got 2+2 coming from traditional finance background? What was your edge? Thanks!

Won't try to answer your question as I am not qualified to do so
