Hi everyone,
I was recently admitted to the University of Minnesota to start this fall in the fifth round of its application cycle. I am getting married this August and away for some time and so I can't attend orientation. As a result—and based on counsel from the school as well—I am deferring to next year. The information I received from the school was as follows:
"... your admissions decision would be carried over, but your scholarship decision will be considered as if you were a Round 1 applicant. This has the potential to adjust your scholarship, as well. And none of this would jeopardise your standing as we understand that everyone has moving schedules!"
Does anyone have any experience with this and whether scholarship amounts in this situation are likely to change? My understanding is that a scholarship in round 1 is often higher than a scholarship in round 5... but I'm not sure what to expect in a deferred situation.
Any history or past learnings would be helpful!

Hi Cathal93 this scenario is not unusual. I deferred my MBA plans in the past(with scholarship) and have worked with applicants who did the same (after receiving admits) due to personal reasons. The schools make it known whether or not the candidate would have to revise the scholarship request for the next cycle, when the time comes. As a Round5 admit with scholarship, you may be able to get more when you re-apply as a Round1 scholarship applicant (although there is no guarantee). It would help if you show that you made progress professionally or did some solid community work when you re apply for the scholarship.
Best wishes
