[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone without a junior or a senior I'd say the junior have it FAR worse.

Seniors are missing out on graduation and prom.   Big deals in the present by forgotten about in 6 months. 
However, they went through the college admissions process unscathed.  They are set for next year.  
They're having unprecedented opportunities to move off waitlists as international students and others drop out.

Juniors have no idea what college admissions will hold.  They may get shut out from college when 50% of the spots are gone to deferrals. 
Applications may end up being based on Freshman and Sophomore year grades and a lotto machine.  How will kids even know what is their safety, match, etc anymore?
No one wants to think this but it's realistically quite likely that they'll be home for a good portion of their senior year as well. 
They are the ones getting screwed in a "big picture" way.

Read what I said above (and what others say)...deferrals will not be allowed en masse...colleges will be financially hit too hard. [/quote]
