So as I was applying through LSAC I realized there is a deferral option under "Program Information." I was planning to request a deferral but am willing to attend straight away if denied. But now I'm wondering: would it hurt my chances (even a little) at all in getting accepted for the upcoming term if I indicate a preference to attend the term after (i.e. get a deferral)? I could see adcomms being more hesitant to admit me if I request a deferral, perhaps for yield protection purposes.
And if so, then what should i do? Apply first and request a deferral only after getting accepted (if accepted)? On UMich's app it says the deferral deadline is not until Feb.
Thanks all, you guys rock.

Re: Deferrals on LSAC form
Why are you even applying now if you're planning on deferring for a year? Your application will presumably be stronger a year from now with your added experience on your resume.
