I Want to Crack Deferred MBA: Looking for Insights : The B-School Applications


Hello, I am from Bangladesh. I will be completing my BBA in Accounting and Information Systems by Dec. 2025 from one of the best public universities in Bangladesh. I am determined to apply for and crack a top Deferred MBA.

My GPA is below average compared to the class profiles; this could be a weak point in my profile. Despite that, I have visited and reviewed thousands of posts related to Deferred MBA on GMAT Club, Reddit, and YouTube.

{{{ And, I am asking for your attention to give me any suggestion on how I can get into a Deferred MBA }}}

I am primarily targeting those MBA programs where there have a good startup culture (Stanford GSB, HBS, Kellogg, CBS, UC Berkeley)

GPA: 3.33/4.00
CMA Part 2 Completed; Part 1 will be completed before Deferred MBA deadlines.
About to take CFA Level 1 in 2026.
GMAT: Within the average range of top MBA programs.

- Semi-Finalist (Solo) in an internationally well-recognized business case competition.
