[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, sure, but colleges don't mind moving the waitlist.

*  students admitted off the waitlist won't be any less academically prepared, just slightly different demographics maybe
*  less work to do for next year admissions since a large portion of the class is already pre-admitted from 2020

Once again, losers are not colleges or seniors from 2020.  The losers in this game are juniors set to graduate in 2021 who will need to apply to effectively smaller universities.[/quote]
This does not make any sense.

You are saying parents of 2020 are expected to shoulder two years of colleges' budget. What makes parents of 2020 so specially rich? Colleges need revenue. They need to maximize the number of their paying customers. If anything, they will admit more not less in 2021.[/quote]
Not the PP, but between both of your posts, maybe the losers are 2021 applicants who need financial aid.  2020 families electing to defer need to make sure all financial aid/scholarships remain in place (which one would expect).  Full payers are the winners?[/quote]
