[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's why student who want to defer should not be allowed to do so.  They should have to reapply next year.  [/quote]

Yes because they haven't been screwed over enough this year.[/quote]

Other than missing graduation (which is boring AF anyway), how have they been more "screwed over" than the class of 2021? I would argue the juniors have it even worse. Many fewer times for testing. Missing out on the most important semester for grades into their transript--and now the 2020 class taking away possibly up to 20% of possible spots for top colleges next year. [/quote]

Totally agree! Juniors are unlikely to have a full senior year either and will be living in uncertainty for much of that year about when a spike could happen and what that will mean for the rest of their year.  I have two juniors right now (class of 2021) for both college and high school.  I feel for both of them as they wonder what kind of a senior year they may have at all.  At least the class of 2020 got through most of the year together.  Nobody has it good so I am not saying that. Just that class of 2021 is dealing with as much uncertainty if not more.  At least most of 2020 has their college decisions done or very close.  If they are allowed to defer for a year then they're in pretty good shape IMO. [/quote]
