[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We attended a parent webinar for my DD prospective college and they says will allow deferrals for one year only (not a semester) in accordance with its policies already in place. they asked that students talk to them first, before submitting it to discuss any concerns. (I am sure so that they can try to reassure you or talk you out of it, if it's only for pandemic reasons). However, they have a large number of international students who may *need* to defer or students from the other coast who may not be able to plan travel, because of flight restrictions.

Anyway, I cannot imagine what will happen if a large percentage of students attempt to defer. It will be hard for the school to manage the next year's class. In past years, I have heard of kids who defer and then do not ever attend the admitted school -- they apply to other college in the meantime or change their minds.

This is a T30 private university in the NE, so not cheap.[/quote]

Same PP.... My student will just attend. For us, the first year core classes are not equal to the later major classes. We don't expect the same level of "education" from a 150 person freshman class as a smaller seminar senior class.

We will look at the lower entire coast of attendance as a "discount". We expected to pay $70k to attend in person, so will likely pay $45k for distance learning. I know everyone has different financial circumstances and expectations. But this is worth it for us.[/quote]
