Juggling fulltime offer with graduate school app, how does the timing work?

Hey guys. I wanted to ask this question as it has been on my mind quite a bit lately. I've done searches on here and other sites, and can't seem to find an answer.

So this deals with the timing senior year of undergrad between offers and potential graduate school admissions.

I have done quite a bit of research on Princeton's mfin, and am planning to take the gmat anyways next summer (my summer before senior year). But the problem is that I am a bit confused on how students balance fulltime offers in the fall, summer internship invites to work full time, and graduate school admissions.

Princeton sends admissions in april/march at the earliest I've read, so I doubt that an investment bank or any other firm would let an individual hold a potential fulltime offer until then. What is the best way to go about this? Typically, I've heard that banks give a time period that one has to debate whether to accept. After that period, the offer explodes and is no longer an option.

Any insight would be great! Thanks in advance.

 

The way I read this is that you want to do the MFIN but also want to recruit in the event that you don't make it in? I don't think a bank will let you decide that late, so if you do get an offer you'll probably piss some people off if you accept and then renege.

Just my two cents. Others may have a different perspective.

 

That's pretty much what i'm asking. The only program I would really want to do out of undergrad is princeton mfin, but in the event I don't get in, i'd love to have an offer to have. If this is the case though, i'll probably wait to apply to mfin until a few years in i suppose, unless someone else has any insights?
