Queens MBAst graduate taking queries

[cps060]

I too have an admit from Queen SOB. Due to some very personal reasons, I am unable to decide if I can continue my MBA plan this year in May. Is it possible to defer my admission to next year ? Please let me know if you know and what is the procedure and chances. After all my hard work I dont want to let it go.

Hi KC,
I must thank you for your feedback on my MBA chances. You had suggested me to look for EMBA, two years back. And finally I got into Cornell-Queens EMBA and finishing this November. I will be happy if you can write to my email at dnataraj@yahoo.com . I am excited to know that you are at Queens. We had two residency sessions at Kingston .

Thank you and keep your good work up.

Thank you very much KC for taking the time to answer so many questions about Queens.
I have been researching this school for a while now and have one question:
The Queen's MBA is 12 months and doesnt have an internship option. Is not having the opportunity for internship a disadvantage for somewho who plans to switch careers after MBA? (I am an IT professional from India looking to get into consulting.)
KC (or any Queen's alumni), would be grateful for your comments on this.

Thanks,
M Nair.
