[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still waiting for op to update how her son did senior year.  That is the going to be the biggest factor in whether a deferral makes any sense.  If his gpa went down and/or he dropped activities, he is unlikely to do better with another round of applications.[/quote]

Maybe it’s about doing different rather than doing better.   In op’s shoes, I’d let him have the year.  [/quote]

You are responding to a post about deferral, a separate, but related, issue.

OP, you need to info gather. The posters stating that his applications due in fall won't be much different are correct. It will just be another summer on the farm at that point. See if it is possible to apply elsewhere if deferred. Deferral would be the belt and suspenders approach, but the optimal one would be going in fall, doing well, then transferring for spring or the following year. If he does not defer and does a gap year he could be completely shut out the following year. How are his grades for senior year? I'd get the advice of a consultant or the guidance counselor, ASAP.
