[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume that, if lots of seniors defer and hold places for next year, there will be fewer slots for next year's applicants.  Right?[/quote]

Colleges and universities will only hold so many spots. Period. [/quote]

This makes sense but isn't what they're currently telling students.  [/quote]

DCUMers only want to know what they can Google.

Truth is, colleges will be happy to refund money to those who did not or will not start the year. No one has “rights” to “reserve” a space. Colleges and universities can essentially do as they please; and there is absolutely no incentive for schools to “save anyone’s spot”. That would be ridiculous and bad business sense. Where are you people getting this bad information? [/quote]

This.

The amount of $$$ 2020 parents pay for college tuition is relatively fixed. That amount is not magically bigger than that of 2021. The number 1 priority of any college administrator right now is to maximize the 2020 tuition dollars coming in. It makes zero sense for any college to defer 20% of the revenue to next year.[/quote]
