Hi, can someone please help me understand, why are the top most schools of US willing to let people with 2 years of experience start their MBA through the deferred MBA progam route, while the chances of the same person, applying through the normal route with same 2 years of work ex (essentially 1.5 years at the time of filling the application) so miniscule? Thanks in advance!

It's actually very consistent. Despite being talked about frequently, the deferred MBA programs allow in very few people per year.
Look at the average years of work experience. Generally speaking, the business schools want folks with 3-6 years of experience. Someone with 2 years of experience at the junior level really doesn't have enough time in the work force to really bring a ton of value to bear in an MBA class experience. Don't get us wrong - there are very qualified and savvy people at the junior level - but just based on the amount of time they have spent working, there's a limit to what they can pull on anecdotally.
So, that's a long-winded way of basically saying the schools aren't keen on allowing too many folks with 1.5-2 years in period. Now that the deferred MBA programs are a process for getting in, it leaves even fewer spots for those via the normal route. Most of those folks are better off waiting an extra year or two when they will be stronger candidates to fill more available spots.
Does that make sense?

Deferred admissions opportunities give candidates a guaranteed pathway to the MBA before having extensive career exposure. These top MBA programs allow early career candidates and less experienced candidates to apply immediately after their undergraduate degree or at their final year of study. These programs are usually very competitive, as deferred programs have very small classes in terms of who they’re going to admit into their early career program, and successful applicants tend to have exceptional academics, demonstrated leadership and unwavering passion.
