d_slp_2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Hello, I was wondering if anyone here has any insight regarding the likelihood of a grad program allowing you to defer your admission for a year. Shortly after submitting my apps this cycle, I got the surprising (but HAPPY!!) news that I am pregnant. I am due at the beginning of Aug and most programs start soon after. I am afraid I will be physically unable to start a grad program by then. I got into a few programs and am waitlisted for a few. Anyway, just wondering if anyone here has deferred, attempted to, or knows anyone who did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyheyhey42 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I deferred last year, but I ended up applying to a few other programs and will be attending somewhere else. It really depends on the school! I would suggest talking to the coordinator for your program and explaining your situation. Good luck and congrats!! jomyers.online 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know policy differs from program to program. I guess I'm just worried about the programs I'm waitlisted at. If I got off the waitlist, I'd rather attend there than the ones I've been admitted to, but I likely wouldn't even find out until after the 4/15 deadline.
