You ask. They’ll usually say yes but typically will not guarantee that your financial aid package carries over

Yes! It will be different across schools but mine had a one year deferral option without reapplying. I also needed more time to decide and was given a one month extension to accept/deny/defer. I just contacted the admissions counselor

Never hurts to ask. M7 usually make this process difficult. Usually there needs to be a family / visa / military angle. They normally don’t just let you do it for work / start up reasons. But give it a go

American citizen here. I have never really considered bringing my parents to live here permanently due to health care costs. My parents are in their 70s willing to move here if I want.

My company is paying for one credit card. I'm leaning towards Amex Platinum given the large 100k sign up bonus at the moment (which I'll be able to hit). People lean towards CSR because of the 3x on dining but I don't eat out that much (and additional perks, but I prefer the Amex for that).

Should I grab the Amex Plat and not think twice?? Thanks!!

When would be the right time for me to get an MBA given my background?

I was a teacher for 4 years and transitioned into the corporate world. I have 6 months experience in marketing and that’s what I currently do, but plan for a lateral move in the future. I’ve seen suggestions of 3-7 years experience - does my teaching experience factor in? Or should I consider the 3-7 years only of my corporate time? Or is an MBA sooner a good move because of my big career transition (and future lateral)?
