How Your Child Could Get Into a Top MBA Program Before Graduating College

Deferred MBA programs like HBS 2+2 and Stanford GSB’s deferred enrollment let college seniors lock in a seat now and start after a few years of work. Without a full-time job to point to, these applicants get judged on everything else: the choices they made in college, how they’ve led, and how clearly they can explain what comes next. Joy Pincus will walk parents through how these programs look at students who are still in school, and what a strong deferred application usually rests on. Joy has spent two decades helping applicants turn scattered experiences into a coherent story, drawing on her background as a journalist and writer. That matters here, because a 21-year-old’s story is often still in pieces, and families tend to underestimate how much that shapes the outcome.
