Hi,
Dear all,
I have been granted admission in one of best law school of London for LLm. I got job actuly good job so i want to defer it. Plus it will help somebody else in my place to get into LL in that college.
So please tell me how can i get llm defered.

If you want to defer your place, you should contact the admissions team at the institution concerned. They will have a policy to deal with you deferral requests, so it should be a relatively easy request for them to resolve, although - you can expect the deferral to be done anywhere between now and October, depending on the systems in place. No matter what happens with paperwork, once you have been told that your name has been flagged as a deferral that would mean you are not required to matriculate this year.

Does a deferral mean you are still guaranteed a spot in the next school year (Particularly in LSE, UCL or Kings?)

Yes. That is the whole point of a deferral. That is also why many institutions grant them *very* reluctantly - they don't like being strung along and don't like having their hands tied the following year during their admissions cycle.

I should add that a deferral is distinct from a re-instatement. Many institutions will allow you to re-submit your application materials the following year, and some will even allow you to waive the fee. While technically you are not guaranteed a spot in the following year, unless there is a huge surge in the quality of the applicants the next year, you can be relatively confident that you will get in again... the obvious exception being people who barely got in the first time around (e.g. one of the last to be accepted, at the end of the admissions cycle or off a waiting list). Such people should never ask for a re-instatement and will surely be pushing their luck in asking for a deferral.

Thanks for the info. When you say they grant it reluctantly, it means that it is not automatically granted at the behest of the accepted student?

The reason I ask, is because of this scenario I am thinking. If I do not make it to the deadline of this scholarship I am applying for, but do make it to, lets say LSE for this school year, I was wondering if I could defer it (LLM) for the next year in the hopes that I will be able to get a scholarship by then. Is this a valid reason, or will this get me the boot?

While I can empathize with your need to secure a deferral in order to apply for scholarships (I was in that exact same situation last year), in my experience, as far as the LSE is concerned, not having enough money is not, in and of itself, grounds for granting a deferral. My situation sounds very similar to yours. I applied for the LLM at LSE in 2006-2007 and was accepted, but missed the deadlines for any relevant scholarships. I could *not* afford to do an LLM at LSE without significant financial aid. So I requested a deferral on two grounds: 1) needing and extra year to hunt down scholarships; 2) I got a job that was directly relevant to my field of proposed study. I *thought* these were excellent reasons, but to my considerable surprise my application for a deferral was rejected. I was then allowed to re-instate (as described above), and lo and behold I just recently got an offer again for 2007-2008 (as I mentioned earlier, the risk of not being accepted the second time around is really quite low unless you were a borderline candidate to begin with). One thing you should know about a deferral: it's actually not all it's cracked up to be. If it's granted, around January of the following year they will force you to make a commitment to them in the way of a very large non-refundable deposit (i think it's like 500 pounds, but check the LSE website). This is because they don't want someone hanging on to an offer from say, their initial acceptance in January 2007 all the way until September 2008 (which you used to be able to do under the old deferral process). That totally screws up their admissions calculations. But the problem with the new system is that a lot of scholarship competitions (in fact, most) will not have announced their recipients by January, and some will not even have started yet. So if you're looking to get another crack at scholarships a deferral isn't really the way to go (which, now that i think about it, might totally explain why they denied my request). By contract, if you assume the (somewhat minor) risk of re-instating, you're entitled to hold on to your application right up to just before the school term starts, just like any other student who just got an offer for the first time (LSE is extremely generous in this regard, much more so than any other school i've heard of). Anyways, i know this was a long post but i hope you find it helpful.
