How do deferrals work? Do I have to accept first and then I ask for a deferral?

Most MBA programs will not offer a deferral. They are currently accepting students for the Class of 2027.

Historically the only legitimate reasons for getting a deferral are inability to separate from the military and personal medical issue (accompanied by a note from a medical provider).

You might be asked to reapply.

One reason deferrals are not granted is that applicants like to 'play the system.' They want to 'hold' a seat at a T15 program then reapply to 'better' schools. The T15 programs caught on.

Got an offer from a big four (which I have recently signed). But now have a much better offer from another Big four (better salary, team, culture etc). They were definitely my first choice. What are my options, should I go back on my previous signed offer, can I even do that ?

My colleagues
Just to put some intro
I am 22 years after college experience and worked in consulting for 15 years and currently in industry for 7 years.
My long term goal is to go back to consulting more of a business advisor from a strategy perspective
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
