Experience deferring an 2Y FT MBA Admit?

Want to hear about the experience of folks who needed to defer an MBA admit.

What was the reason?
Which college allows this?
What’s the process?
Any deposits to be made to show commitment?

Typically deferring an acceptance for a 2 year MBA program is NOT a thing. You have applied for a seat in the class that will matriculate months after you were accepted.

There are two reasons that programs allow folks to defer:
- inability to separate from the military
- personal medical situation with professional documentation

In other cases, you might just be told that you should reapply.

Hi everyone, what metrics are used by a talent acquisition team to identify insights on their activities to be able to start conversations within the team or other interlinked departments.

More than just metrics like time to hire, cost of hire, demographics, I'd like to hear what data is collected and monitored or measured to get insights on talent acquisition activities.

Thanks in advance for all your inputs :)

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Does an MBA (US) make sense for me? Male, Indian, Age 32, Married working in tech consulting with 10 YOE. Base is $165 with steady increases and bonus is typically 15%.

Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).

I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.

Here is my question
Would MBA be any good for me especially looking at strategy side?
I don’t want to spend $200K and would probably go online MBA in a mid tier school. Are those any good?
Looking forward to your great input on this topic
