can you defer your fullbright?

i assume no, so i voted for tulane. full scholarship + fullbright + tulane MBA on your resume is pretty good


Thanks for pointing it out. I missed the part about Fulbright at Tulane. If you take it, you have to go back and leave the US. That’s a nice free vacation but is that where you want to end up? Ideally perhaps you can argue with FB to defer a year and you beef up your score to get into a better program???

If FB will agree, this is a great outcome. I suspect if you max out your GMAT and get some additional expert eyes on your essays, that'll make a ton of difference in getting in and getting scholarships from the best schools.

If FB days NO, then you're sexiest story (which is how you get the best job) is probably at Tulane.

Update: I have tried to get a deferral, explaining the situation with COVID-19 and schools likely not being open or migrating to online. Request was not respected. I was told "take it now or leave it.". I listened to my heart and declined.



Which schools have you asked them for deferral?
