Many admitted applicants took advantage of programs’ option to defer amid COVID-19
A notable quirk to the findings of this year’s survey is the significant increase in admitted students who opted to defer to next year’s incoming class amid the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The survey findings show that 65 percent of responding full-time MBA programs allowed admitted students to defer entry to next year. As a result, the median deferral rate of programs was 8 percent, and the 75th percentile was 15 percent. Compare that to 2019, when the median deferral rate was 3 percent, and the 75th percentile was 6 percent.
As noted in the survey report, deferral rates were much higher for international students, who faced perhaps the greatest level of uncertainty amid the pandemic. Across program types, the median deferral rate for international students was 15 percent, compared to 5 percent for domestic students.
