Has anyone had luck finding stats or having an admissions officer share school-specific info regarding the number of deferrals/gap years approved for students meant to start fall 2020 and how those decision affect the number of available seats for students graduating high school in spring 21?
Many colleges have published their deferral stats. Harvard and MIT come to mind. Some, e.g… Princeton, have publicly stated that those who choose to defer are not guaranteed placement into the Class of 2025. Few, if any, have stated what the impact will be on the current HS Class of 2021. And I highly doubt an AO will answer in anything more than generalities.
@SchoolNews I can’t state with certainty what the exact number is, but I did do the following calculation from Brown’s released data/wait list acceptances and found that the percentage accepted off the wait list was not “unusual” for the school: this likely means that not as many students deferred as expected/predicted.
Here’s my post: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/brown-university/2194061-brown2024-profile-waitlist-acceptances.html
This is from the Colgate student paper. No mention of how it will impact next year. It isn’t a huge number, but it isn’t a huge school.
Thanks
