Interesting. I had not seen mention of that in previous years' threads... Is that a normal thing for programs to do? I wonder how many they end up offering deferred admittance to in a given cycle.
I've heard of deferrals before, but AdCom has said that they typically come toward the end of August. For example, in 2007, nobody made it off the waitlist for MIT Sloan, and so some deferrals were handed out in August of that year to enroll for the following year.
I've just never heard of deferrals being offered starting in June.
Another thing to keep in mind is that international candidates usually cannot wait past July 1. It's just too difficult to obtain a visa after that.
