<p>are colleges obliged to grant be a TWO year deferal for mandatory military service? (after I've been accepted and have sent a request in a letter)
I just want to make sure</p>
<p>Stanford deferred me for 2 years for national service. Berkeley grants no deferrals ever. Check with your individual colleges.</p>
<p>thank you!but maybe the situation is different because it's mandatory service is my country</p>
<p>Well it is mandatory service in mine too (for males).</p>
<p>oh i see..did you send the letter requesting a deferal after you were accepted?</p>
<p>When you reply to your college's offer of admissions, just check the "I wish to defer my admissions" box in the reply website/card and attach a letter explaining your circumstances.</p>
<p>ok, thank you. If, like stanford, the college accepts deferals for military service they accept everyone's deferal if their circumstances are the same, right?</p>
<p>Yes, that should be the case.</p>
