Deferred Admission MBA For College Seniors: 3 Key Tips For A Standout Application Jan 19, 04:53 AM Comments [0] Last month, Berkeley Haas announced a new option for any college senior to apply to for its fulltime MBA with a two- to five-year deferment. The Berkeley Haas Accelerated Access program (application deadlines April 5 and June 10) represents an expansion of Haas’s early admit program, which debuted last year for UC Berkeley students. “This evolution is further evidence that elite MBA programs are themselves vying to secure a competitive advantage by recruiting top talent for their future communities,” says Fortuna’s Judith Silverman Hodara. Most deferred admissions MBA programs follow a similar track: apply early, secure a seat, work for two-to-five years in between. That said, the characteristics and incentives between elite programs vary. Given the recent changes in programs – including Haas’s debut and expansion – we’ve revised the Fortuna team’s guide to the best MBA Deferred Admissions Programs.
