[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually this might work out well for my junior.  She was thinking of a gap year because she has little idea of what she wants to study and wants to have more purpose when she goes, more maturity to handle the workload and deadlines. Doesn’t want to spend the money we have for college spinning her wheels and having to go longer, spending more money, possibly incurring loans because of it.  We were already discussing this as a serious option and for her to take some community college courses to keep a toe in, try out different subjects, decide what to major in.  Now with all the upheaval, it will be a much more common thing to happen, our current juniors and seniors taking a gap year or starting locally due to finances as the admissions crisis works itself out over the next couple of years.[/quote]

So is she planning to apply after taking the gap year or is she hoping to secure admission and then request a gap year?  If she's hoping to secure admission first then that is exactly what we're talking about being harder.  It's not about how hard it will be for kids in class of 2021 to defer once they're admitted.  It's about the actual admission and how much harder it will be to compete for fewer spots.

If she's taking a year off and applying in fall of 2021 for admission in 2022 then maybe that would help.[/quote]
