<p>So I've been accepted into 2 grad programs (one private and one public) for Fall 2011 and still not sure which one I want to attend. However, I have a great job right now that pays really well, but it's only temporary and ends in December. I'd like to keep the job a bit longer rather than quit in August and save up. I was wondering what the chances were to contact the admissions dept for each school and requesting a delay in the start of the program, possibly for the winter semester.</p>
<p>Do you know if your programs have winter start dates? Most graduate programs do not.</p>
<p>Delaying a year is possible at many programs, but not merely a semester.</p>
