Defer enrollment if accepted ED?

[taiocruz]

Are the ED requirements at Swarthmore such that one must attend the following year, or is it possible to defer enrollment, taking a gap year?

Thanks!

Under certain circumstances, admitted students may apply in writing to defer their admission for one year. These requests must be received by May 1 and approved in writing by the dean of admissions, and students must confirm their plans for the year by June 1. The dean of admissions may choose to review other requests on a case-by-case basis. Students granted deferment may neither apply to nor enroll at another degree-granting college/university program.

The passage does not appear to make any distinction between ED and RD.

Yes, you can. It’s been done.
