Hi, Everyone!
I need your advice as I do not have a clue about what to do.
Briefly about my profile: male, 30 years old, Russian, 8+ years of W.E. in manufacturing (operations).
I have been admitted by Tepper Business School (with no scholarship). COVID-19 significantly affected my perspectives of traveling to the US this year.
The situation is as follows:
- I cannot apply for a visa since the embassy halted its operation until further notice.
- Russian borders are closed, so even if I had the visa, I wouldn’t be able to leave the country.
- Tepper is going to teach some classes online at least in Fall 2020. What if the second wave of the pandemic will come and turn the program online?
- Tepper presumably is not going to decrease its tuition fees. It means $140k for the hybrid format of learning.
- I cannot choose an apartment because literally, I have no idea what this all is going to look like in the next couple of months.
What is clear is that Tepper offers deferral options – I can secure my spot in Class 2023. However, I am not getting younger and I`ll be 32 by fall 2021.
Please suggest what you would do if you were me. Do I need to make it to Pittsburgh this fall whatever it takes or wait for one more year, hoping that everything is going to come to normal soon?
I hope that bb can give advice.
Thank you in advance!

One of the biggest benefits of the on campus MBA is the immersion aspect.
If I'm in your shoes, I defer, try to make a bunch of money this next year, maybe apply to a couple of other schools (if you can bump your GMAT score) and look to go to your best option in 15 months.
You should know more then.
One more year isn't going to kill you.

if you have a solid reliable job, I would see staying put as a more certain option. It’s not necessarily better, but it will give you more choice and certainty. You can try your luck and apply next year to better programs to see if you can improve your situation or score a scholarship somewhere.
