What impact will COVID-19 have on students that were accepted for spring semester?
How does the unexpected loss of housing/dining revenue on campus impact a college/university’s budget? In what ways does the COVID-19 situation put a financial strain on colleges and universities and how will that impact future years-especially those starting in fall 2021? Should we expect tuition increases/less merit scholarships available/dining or housing increases? Will colleges be more/less/equally likely to admit out of state students and internationals?
I’m planning on transferring for fall 2020. I would like to go to my senior college knowing I’ll be 100% safe so I’m considering deferring my admission to spring 2020. Are deferments available for transfer students and how do they work?
Is it true that, temporarily, CSU’s lowering the number of minimum units required for applying from 60 to 48? please clarify. Could CSU’s reopen enrollment for Fall 2020 for those would now be eligible to apply now that the number of units required has been lowered? What will be the updated change in requirements for CC students who were in the process of transferring for Spring 2021 and etc.
How will this affect the financial aid for the class of 2022? Many of us have parents who are “essential workers” who are getting temporary raises. This year will be used for the 2022 FAFSA.
- Will colleges increase admission deferral opportunities for seniors to the detriment of juniors?
-Should juniors apply to more colleges than usual due to all of the uncertainty?
How will the covid-19 outbreak affected admissions off of the waitlist? Are students more or less likely to be admitted off the waitlist based on this situation?
Can y’all speak to how schools will be handling college tours (for Juniors)? Obviously Spring Break tours were canceled, and summer tours, if we’re able to travel again, will not have the same feel. The online virtual tours run the gamut, anything you can share about how admission offices might address this is appreciated.
Will students who already have a lot of ECs under their belt be seen in a better light or will the benefit be given to those who could not do any ECs this summer because the admissions officers will have more empathy for them?
