Stratus Admissions Counseling Odds Assessment: 10%

Hi, it’s Jennifer Jackson from Stratus Admissions. You have some solid extracurriculars and great stats, but as a recent graduate you wouldn’t be eligible for deferred programs (like HBS 2+2) because you’re no longer a student. My advice would be to continue getting solid experience and apply in a couple of years so you’ve got at least two, but preferably three or four, years of full-time work experience under your belt. The last I checked it was a requirement to either be in our senior year of college or be pursuing a master’s straight out of college in order to be eligible for deferred MBA programs.
