Ok so here's my situation, I received deferred acceptance to Tufts last year, to start in 2005. I really like the school, my deposits are in and they're expecting me. But this last summer I began at a new job and recently I've been promoted and I'm really enjoying working with this company and think that I could gain a lot from this experience, in ways that may not even necessarily apply to dentistry. I've been thinking about it and while I still know that dentistry is what I want to do, I'm also interested in continuing my work on projects with this company, and I feel that if I go to school now I may be cutting that short, so I'm considering defering another year. But a part of me is also not so sure . . . I've had two years off since graduating college and while I've been working the whole time, it wasn't until recently that I got this other job opportunity. In some ways I feel a little restless and want to get back into school, but I also have this overwhelming feeling that I could do a lot with this company if I stay on with them a little longer.
From what I understand, if I do defer I need to write a letter to the admissions committee explaining why I am requesting to be defered. Has anybody ever had any experience with this? What may they take into consideration when making their decisions? Since I've already been deferred a year, do you think that will make any difference?
Thanks for the help.
