hi guys, I really need a help from you all..
I have been accepted to the LSE but I need to ask for a deferral due to: 1. bar exam which I'll have to take in October (I unexpectedly passed the written exam and I have the oral one) 2. a good job place which I have found and don't want to leave so soon 3. save money.
I have been told that be granted a deferral is not that easy..anyone has got experience with that and can help me figuring out what's the best way to write down the request and motivation?
thank you all

I would just explain everything to them in reasonable terms.
I would focus on funding issues. This is a typical problem for many students, and they're going probably going to be sensitive to it.
The other issues: the bar and the job, aren't so clear-cut. They'll probably want to know (1) why don't you just start the program and take the bar, and (2) if you're starting a new job, are you really going to be able to leave it just a year in for the 2016 start? Personally, I would address these issues in the request.
