Hello beautifulant

Thank you for reaching out. If business school is something you definitely want to do in your life, we would certainly encourage you to apply to deferred programs rather than wait. Make sure to read our recent blog where Personal MBA Coach discusses the benefits of deferral MBA programs.

Regarding standardized tests, we understand your concerns, however, test prep is a time commitment that won’t go anywhere should you choose to apply later in your career, so why not do it now? In our blog, we have a list of tips on how to maximize your standardized test prep –our advice should help you take a more structured approach, allowing you to minimize the effort and time commitment and still do well!

Finally, we would be happy to have a more detailed conversation about your application strategy as we do offer Deferred MBA Packages.

Regards,

Personal MBA Coach
