[quote=Anonymous]The bottom line questions seem to be (1) are more students actually deferring this year than is typical, and (2) if so, will highly selective colleges limit deferments. While we are all speculating, and plenty of 2020 kids are considering their options, I don't think we've seen any good data yet on these questions. Internationals may be the bigger concern with deferments, as those admitted may have no choice due to the visa process, but even for those, there is a lack of clarity. There have been a few surveys, though the more significant problem with 2020 kids not attending may be more permanent than a selective college deferment - not attending at all or choosing an in-state public university due to financial considerations - rather than the reluctance to have an online first semester experience vs in person.
