[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So DD is coming from a Big 3 with ACT scores at the upper end of the range and grades in line with the average student. Apply ED and her odds are probably good, even better than normal for 2021. [/quote]

Why do you say odds are better than normal for class of 2021?[/quote]

DP. DC attended several online college sessions. Last night Amherst along with five other schools had one. One student asked the impact of bigger than usual deferral this year on 2021 admission. I was very surprised to hear that they would possibly offer fewer waitlist for 2021. It sounds to me it will be more difficult for the class of 2021. Every other schools had said no impact when a similar question was asked. Perhaps Amherst and other SLACs did give out significantly more deferrals this year than other schools.[/quote] +1.  This. It will be more difficult for 2031. 20 percent of Harvard’s 2020 class is deferring, leaving fewer slots for 2021.[/quote]

It seems to be a common question for 2021. In Harvard's zoom call, they answered no impact on admission. Same for Chicago. The Amherst's rep is the first I heard who openly admitted the possibility of fewer slots for 2021. I was surprised to hear that. The impact may be a specific problem for SLACs.[/quote]
