Deferring?

[physics]

Is it generally possible to defer grad school (Ph.D.) admission for a year?

(I've been accepted, but in order for us to be able to move to the new city, my fiancee has to find a job there, and this is a hell of a year to be looking for a job; it's not clear we'll know anything by April 15.)

I'm not sure if the situation is different with Physics programs, but this is definitely possible, generally speaking, with Biosciences programs. The best thing to do would be for you to check the program's website and other materials and see if they mention anything about their policies for deferring. If you don't find anything, contact the program's administrator - it doesn't hurt to ask, and this is something you need to have accurate and up-to-date information on.
