In the past 5 days, I am hearing of many more students considering skipping fall semester

Bowdoin has told students any of them can take leaves, but they can’t guarantee that they will be able to return in their desired semester, based on enrolled numbers at that point in time. Because it’s a meets full need school, I doubt there are FA implications, but there certainly could be at other schools.

This depends on how many families suffered a financial setback and how many students decide to take a gap year. Both will cost schools a lot of money. Some colleges may need to reassess their meets need policies.
