Hi everyone,
I was fortunate enough to be admitted to Columbia Business School through the Deferred Enrollment Program during my senior year of undergrad. As I am planning my actual matriculation timeline, I have a question regarding financial aid and scholarships for deferred candidates.
Since we have already secured our seats and have been paying the annual $500 deferral continuation fee/deposits for a few years, does the admissions/financial aid committee tend to be less generous with scholarships for DEP students? (Under the assumption that our yield is already high/locked in).
I would love to hear from former CBS DEP admits or current students:
Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I would love to hear from former CBS DEP admits or current students:
- What are the realistic chances of securing a merit-based or need-based fellowship as a deferred student?
- Does our pre-MBA professional growth during the deferral period heavily dictate the scholarship outcome compared to our original undergrad stats (GPA/GMAT)?
Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
