Deferrals

[brbsb]

I'm still a year away from applying, but I was curious...what qualifies as a good reason to defer your med school acceptance for a year?

Varies by school. Health issues, desire to travel, impending marriage, family emergency, temporary financial difficulty, etc., all may be considered valid. Some schools, however, have a no deferral policy. It's best to check school web sites during the process, as many schools post their deferment policy. The MSAR merely lists whether a given school considers "requests for deferred admission".
