[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Save your money folks. With more deferments than usual and no international students to fill the coffers, full pay is going to be more and more important.[/quote]

Agree. It’s all about revenue.  I think the colleges are allowing what will be a higher % of 2020 scholarship students to defer and admitting full pay (and OOS for publics) off the waitlist to fill those spots and fill in for the missing international students. The 2021 scholarship students will be screwed.  Full pay may be advantaged in 2021, especially if the international students aren’t back.  [/quote]

Maybe.  But there will be no fewer slots for the rightful Class of 2021 - there will be fewer slots for deferrals and transfers, as always. [/quote]

That may or may not be true. However, I do think that a college that is taking a financial hit would be happy to let a scholarship student defer if they can replace them with a full-pay student for this fall. It's not clear what happens to scholarships for those who choose to defer, but I'm pretty sure some number of kids who defer never show up at all. [/quote]

Let’s just say the colleges bank on the deferrals not showing up and leave it at that because y’all are dense. [/quote]
