[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]

Once again, for the people in the cheap seats:  If you know anything about college admissions, you know that there are only so many spaces that are allowed to defer.  Do you people seriously think that if most of the class, or even a large percentage (which in a college, is fewer people than you think) want to defer, the college just says "sure why not?" No, it doesn't work that way.

There are wait lists that the college can and will tap into, which means that after so many on the deferred list (a small handful) the wait list gets tapped, and you and your snowflake lose your spot.  A college is a business, and it is not in the business of charity for students' whose parents are easily offended or overly controlling.

There are also so many transfers allowed (again, a small number). So if you think you are going to get away cheap, then transfer to your first choice as you please, guess again. Colleges are a numbers games, essentially.

I thought people here were supposed to be smart or at least informed?  [/quote]
