[quote=Anonymous]"From a college admissions perspective, juniors have it worse than current seniors. Current seniors have a choice about accepting for this year or deferring. They've already been accepted and have a spot if they want it. Some are even getting off wait lists because of the lower expected numbers for fall. Your kid is handling it like a trooper because she has three wonderful choices. Parents of juniors are concerned that if too many of this years class defers, their kid will be shut out. That's a very real concern. It's easy to tell juniors to handle this with maturity when your child has three offers in hand. Not having prospects other than cc or lower tier schools because next year's classes are full isn't a little adversity. Have three really good choices and an option to defer is a little adversity. Try to see that perspective and avoid using "snowflakes" to describe kids who have no clue what whether they'll get in anywhere."

Nailed it.

Don't depend on deferrals, people.  Colleges can only do so much. [/quote]
