How to Strengthen Your Deferred MBA Story Before the Deadline
Deferred MBA programs look for candidates with clear potential, thoughtful career vision, and evidence of leadership early in their careers.

In this session, you’ll learn how to clarify your long-term story, highlight leadership and impact effectively, and strengthen the core themes that run through your essays and application materials.
