<p>Are you allowed to defer from a college that you were accepted to for a year and apply to another one over your year off. YOu knwo, just to have all your bases covered if you dont get into it and not have to go through the trnasfer process?</p>
<p>Some colleges allow it and some don't. You have to ask. I wanted to do that because I ended up having to stay closer to home for a year and neither of my top choices: USC or UCLA would let me defer so I went to my state university and had to apply as a transfer this year to USC (couldn't apply to ucla since im just a freshman now. they only take junior transfers). However, other schools will let you deter. I know some of the ivys will and other universities too. It just depends. You have to ask. It's a good idea though because then you know u have somewhere to go afer a year and you can apply to other places if you want as well.</p>
