Defering Admission to UC

<p>I'm currently a senior in high school but in fall 2007, when everyone else is heading off to college, I am leaving for 2 years to serve as a missionary. As far as I know UC schools only allow deferments up to 1 year. </p>

<p>Does anyone know if colleges, especially UC schools look down on applicants that aren't applying right out of high school?</p>
