Clear Admit Event: Insights into Deferred Enrollment MBA Programs, November 2023
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?
Dates: November 8th & November 15th 2023.
Time: 12 pm-1 pm Panel & 1 pm-1:30 pm Breakout Q&A with Individual Schools
(all times Eastern)
In each event of the series, we will begin with a 60-minute panel 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 series will feature each of our participating schools in a panel discussion where they will take pre-submitted questions from registered attendees. Each panelist will then separate into their own breakout rooms where they will engage in Q&A from attendees directly. Register today and if you can’t make it, we will send you a recording of the event. Hope to see you in November!

I'm an MiM candidate at Kellogg expected to matriculate in June 2026. I have an undergraduate degree in engineering from IIT. I will be joining DHL Consultings Americas office as a Mgmt Consultant post graduation from Kellogg.
My undergrad GPA is 7.38/10 and am expecting a 3.7+ from Kellogg at the time of applications.
I have a lot of internships ( 5+) at start-ups across various roles(strategy, marketing, Product Management, operations), industries and sizes. From dorm-room stage to unicorns. Also held multiple leadership roles during my time at college. Founded and headed two social initiatives on sustainability and women empowerment and informally mentored underclassmen from underrepresented backgrounds.
Plan to exit consulting soon into a start-up. Post MBA goal is investing ( not sure if VC/PE/Growth equity ). Longer term goal is entrepreneurship in India ( Inspired by family legacy and want to give back to country )
- No excuse for low GPA, I was simply didn't have the necessary drive or subject matter interest in school, was more interested in playing music and doing enough to graduate. Pursued that simultaneous to my conventional job for a few years after school and actually had a couple cool licensing deals with corporate brands but in last few years decided to focus on career.
- unfortunately had an illness at the end of last year that led to me have serious vision issues, being laid off and subsequently on disability for the first part of this year. Have since mostly recovered except for an operation I should be able to get next spring.
- volunteer leader for a high school ministry
