Defer a place at grad school

[cat]

I have been accepted at UPenn for grad school commencing in Fall 2009. Does anyone know the status of deferring one's entry for a year?

Some programs allow it, some don't. At most programs your funding won't carry over if you defer, and you'll have to be reevaluated for funding the year you're planning to attend. You'll have to ask the department what their policy is.
