[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that colleges are in crisis-management mode and [b]being "fair" to the next class of applicants is probably low priority.[/b] As the parent of a junior, I am certainly anxious about how it will play out. But a lot can happen in a year, and most of it is out of my or my kid's control. All we can do is keep on looking at schools that might be a good fit (and maybe broaden the list a bit just in case). Freaking out is not a good strategy.[/quote]

You are correct.  Filling the seats is a high priority.  Which is why there will only be so many deferrals and transfers. What about this don't you get? [/quote]

They will fill the seats from the wait list, and all the kids who defer will take freshman places next year. What about this don’t you get?[/quote]

Your math does not work. Your imagination hinges on a fallacy that 2020 class has the capacity and $$$ to supply above 100% of its normal number. Where are the magical kids and money?[/quote]
