<p>to apply to yale SCEA and then request a deferal for two years for mandatory military service?</p>
<p>This is a very specific situation so I would imagine the best solution would be to contact the admissions office and ask them. However, if the service is mandatory, I would assume they would allow you to do so provided that you had already been accepted.</p>
<p>are you from Russia? Because then I'll assume they have no choice but to let you defer matriculation.</p>
<p>No, I'm from israel and for girls it's mandatory two year service. I know that one year wouldn't be a problem, seeing as it is in yale's policy (anyone can defer for one year for whatever reason) though I really hope that for the army 2 years is ok.</p>
