Deferred MBA Thread
Wanted to start a thread for those who applied for deferred MBA's this cycle. Of the 10 schools that offer deferred MBA's I've only heard back from 2.
Stanford GSB - Heard interviews were being rolled out. Haven't been rejected or sent an invite for an interview HBS 2+2 - No news Wharton - No news Kellogg - No News UChicago Booth - Rejected MIT - No News CBS - No News UVA Darden - Received invite for interview Berkeley Haas - No News Yale SOM - Did not apply.
bump
Invites are all coming out on a fixed date for HBS and Wharton
I’m applying to these next year, but I was wondering if you could add some personal hard stats eg. GMAT/ GRE? Just a thought for adding more context
Non-target undergrad with a 3.95 gpa and 320 gre. Incoming jr trader at a large asset manager.
thanks for starting this thread. applied to 6 schools (non-target undergrad w/ 3.97 gpa & 740 gmat, incoming summer analyst in mm peag group)
Carnegie Mellon Tepper- interview done.
UVA Darden- interview done.
Chicago Booth-interview this week w/ alum

The Harvard and Wharton wait is killing me

I got interviews from GSB and Booth deferred programs so far (ignore the title). I'd be the happiest kid in the world if I could get into GSB!
Congrats! That's incredibly impressive. Best of luck on the interviews.
Thanks! Good luck to you too!!
Could you drop stats? Good luck on interviews
Non-target 3.7 GPA and 326 GRE. I am gonna start working in an asset management firm this fall.
Columbia interviews are out
Any clue whether its rolling interviews or if this means that those who didn't receive an invite today are essentially rejected?
not sure unfortunately
Columbia has a specific interview invite deadline, but they can invite you to an interview anytime before that as well.
Hi! Thanks for starting this thread. I’m a 2+2 applicant and applied to Stanford, Harvard, and Wharton. I received an interview at Stanford (the wait is killing me) and am waiting on HBS and Wharton.
Maybe it is just me, but I feel like I’ve heard of very few deferred applicants getting interviews at GSB so far. Maybe they are waiting to send more out? Or maybe people aren’t posting. What do you guys think?
They're only giving 60 or so interview invites. You wouldn't expect to hear about a lot of people getting them. You're already in a great place - good luck!
Got it. Thank you! You as well.
Booth - Interview on campus
Sloan - Interview virtually (no option for on campus)
Wharton - No word (May 25th is the date interviews come out)
HBS - No word
GSB - No word / rejected (since some people have already gotten interviews, assuming I have been rejected)
Profile: incoming IB analyst at a top bank, 85% GRE/GMAT, T50 with full ride - GPA 3.95. X-factor is that I will be working on building out my firm's disability employee resource group (similar to how there are ERG or affinity networks for LGBT+, black, hispanic, etc).
HBS interviews are coming out on May 30!
Are you sure? Saw the following on the website: "Interview invitations are extended on a rolling basis"
MIT Sloan invites have been sent
can confirm, was rejected haha

Sooooo nervous for HBS in a couple weeks
What are everyone's thoughts on whether deferred mba application volume are up or down compared to last year?
Have received additional rejections from Columbia and MIT so far. Safe to say I think I struck out from all of the schools except for UVA. Had a very high gpa and was very confident in my essays and letters of recommendation which makes me think that my GRE score was what held me back.
What was your “why business school” answer? Not sure if you applied to HBS but I’ve seen multiple reports of them taking candidates with a 320 GRE and below. Don’t give up yet!
Stanford comes out today. Good luck guys!
Also Wharton I believe- and HBS next Tuesday
good luck everyone!
Dinged from Wharton
same
Me too
Got Wharton invite! When did you guys schedule your TBDs? Anyone have any tips on prepping?
Double dings today - from Wharton and GSB. Oof
Just got admitted to CBS
Congrats !
How likely am I to get a HBS interview if I got dinged from Wharton and GSB but interviews at Booth and Sloan? My guess is 30% on the high side
how's everyone feeling about HBS interviews tomorrow?
HBS interview invites came out today!
HBS Final Decisions come out June 29th

Did my Darden interview a while ago and waiting to hear the decision next week. Preparing for my Wharton interview. Those were my only 2 apps.
Should’ve applied to GSB/CBS at this rate. Dad is an alum at the latter and he donates lol.
Edit: throw MS all you want lol
