Rejecting Business Schools and then Reapplying

Welcome to GMAT Club! Quite a question you have on an election night.

This happens quite often. I actually had a classmate who quit during the first semester because we got an offer he could not refuse and he did not need to do an MBA and waste 2 years and then search for a job. He got where he needed to be without it.

This is a good question for an admissions consultant who have run through this a few times. However, I do not think you will upset the school or annoy them in too many ways if you wait for the decision. Here is why:

1. You have put way too much work into the apps, and it would be painful not to see the results.
2. You may hate the job and would rather have this way out instead of starting from scratch next year or trying to get into R3. I think this is your biggest reason
3. Schools do give deferrals for good reasons. A job/opportunity could be that. Adcom is real people with hearts and brains (sometimes we think otherwise) but they are nice people. They will understand a sincere take if you present this to them clearly and honestly. They will work with you to help you out. Things change and they have a process/policy for this. You should get a few hours of a consultant time to figure out what that policy is for each of the schools and how to approach it to make sure you meet all of their conditions. Consultants would also love to work on this puzzle.
4. It is fun to put up admissions letters from HSWC on the wall (it is much harder to get into those places than graduate).

Let's see if we can get any people with a good deal of experience to comment on this.
StratusMBACounselor, FortunaAdmissionsMJ, or StratusMBACounselor or Squareoneprep or mbaMissionJenK - any suggestiosn?

Good Luck!
