[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All colleges are not allowing unlimited deferrals.

After thinking about it for a while, students won't even want that many deferrals.

No matter how bad students perceive distance learning to be, compared to a normal year, the options of things  to do during the 20-21 year is incredibly limited. Just imagine:

Internship interviewer: So what did you do during your gap year?

Interviewee: Well during the first summer I applied for a bunch of jobs within walking distance of my house because I don't have a car.  I got one interview but they decided to give that minimum wage job to someone with 15 years of experience managing a similar store and 3 kids.  After that I played a lot of video games, I started off ranked 10,245 in the world at %^$#@& but since my whole class started playing instead of going to college, I'm now ranked 1,293,345.[/quote]

Thanks for the morning laugh!  Seriously, my DD got into her dream school and has no desire to defer no matter what first semester is going to look like.  She goes to a small school in DC and none of her classmates are deferring (small graduating class, they all know each other and where they're all going).  However, we did chat with a neighbor who is also a senior but at a large public school, and he said he knows of at least 10 of his classmates that are deferring.  Until I heard that, I really didn't think that many 2020s were going to defer.

Who knows what's going to happen, but I'd like to think they'll be on campus at least starting in January.  DD is already bored out of her mind, there's no way she'd want to be sitting at home for another year and a half waiting to go to college.  [/quote]
