Does the Law School defer admission?
Yes, but deferrals of admission are harder to get than offers of admission and are granted solely at the discretion of the Dean of Admissions. Considerations include your strength as a candidate relative to anticipated future applicant pools, and your reason for deferring. It is rare that we will grant a deferral for an endeavor that does not have a defined time limit.

If you know you do not intend to matriculate in the year for which you’re applying because you already have a commitment to do something else, then we strongly encourage you to postpone applying. But things come up! And if some golden opportunity (or difficult situation) presents itself after you’re admitted, please contact us to discuss.
