Hi Mr. Colombian M7 Deferral, Kristen from MBA Prep School here. You certainly have a lot going for you in your quest for deferred admission. Your solid academics and time at Oxford will be very attractive to your target schools, and your international background provides diversity to the future class. A key component for the deferred admission programs is internship history and a full-time offer at the time of your application. The school can’t evaluate you based on ACTUAL full-time work experience, but they can rely on your future work experience to provide insight into your potential. Being hired by a top-tier firm like Bain puts the stamp of approval on you from a professional standpoint. You will want to showcase any special projects or …

Being hired by a top-tier firm like Bain puts the stamp of approval on you from a professional standpoint. You will want to showcase any special projects or responsibilities you were given during your internships to highlight the experiences you have had. Something I don’t see in the profile you provided is extracurricular activities. This is a great way to demonstrate leadership and teamwork at the undergraduate level when you haven’t yet had the chance to prove yourself professionally. I have read applications for deferred admit programs from students who were student body president, a fraternity or sorority chapter leader, a team captain, or a club founder. Don’t underestimate the importance of these roles. If you haven’t been an active participant on campus, this may impact your chances. You might also consider MIT Sloan as an option.
