Deferring Admission

[KJ90]

Is it possible to defer for more than one year? I am getting into schools but am not getting enough funding so I want to perhaps work before I go to graduate school. However, for any meaningful jobs with decent pay I would have to work for two years. Is this unheard of? Are schools really strict about the one year defer limit?

I've never heard of multiyear. Just reapply--you'll have to repay the application fees, but wherever you get into now will accept you anyway with more work experience. No, you won't have that same safety blanket but you'll be fine. And who knows, 2 years from now an MPP or whatever may seem like a waste of time.
