Delayed entry after admission?

Published

This is purely hypothetical but I'm wondering if anyone has been accepted to school then asked if you could start the following year instead of the upcoming year. Why would anyone do this, you ask? Moving out of state, selling a home in a crap market, school starts 3-4 months after acceptance, family, etc. I'm finding it difficult to uproot my life before I get the acceptance letter, on the other hand, I don't want to screw up admission if and when I do get accepted. Anyone?

Please take this for what it is, an opinion. But if you are applying for a school during a said class (year), they too are conducting interviews for that exact class. I view it that if you have accpeted a chance to interview, you are aware of the difficulties YOU must overcome, no matter how great or small, in order to be ready and prepared for class to begin on the first day, of the year for which you have applied. i cannot say it hasn't happened, but I do not know of a delayed entry. heck, I may be way off, but I am unaware of that.

Just some advice, if you are willing to begin CRNA school, and you feel like you can get an interview, you are more than half-way there. You need only to present yourself in the best manner possible for the interview and you will get in. Sell your house now, if this is what it would entail and you anticipate a long listing of your home B-4 it sells.

You can do it. Good luck.

Just another perspective here,

I've talked to quite a few nurses that apply and get accepted into graduate school only to have to defer their start date for a semester or two. Of course, this is in my social circle of military wives and our going saying is 'you're really not moving until the men come to box your stuff up'. We've been told many times that we will be moving to X location, only to have the dates bumped back for months at a time. So, yes, it can be done. It's probably not the most convienient for the school or the student, but it can be done.
