[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not for every college, but for the ones in most demand. [b]There are plenty of full-pay or nearly full-pay kids who will gladly take a spot off the wait list at any top 20 school.[/b] (See the excited threads here about wait lists moving and kids getting in to their dream schools.) They will replace the kids who defer from the freshman class and will want to claim a place in the freshman class next year. [/quote]

Top 20 schools face the same financial hardship as everyone else. The number of qualified full-pay kids will only get smaller given the economic downturn. Even if we assume that there will always be enough full-pay kids for top 20 schools every year, there is no logical reason for top 20 schools to lower their standards and let in 120% of 2020 kids. They will have enough full-pay kids from 2021 too. Why would they provide a worse experience for year 2021 filling the schools with 2020 kids? High-stats 2021 kids would turn to top publics for a better experience.[/quote]
