Post Graduate Year- Possible w/ ED?

<p>So, i'm thinking about taking a post grad year before starting college. I just finished my junior year and i am going to be a senior in the fall. </p>

<p>I am pretty sure I want to do E.D. to either Brown or Swarthmore. But is it a good idea to ask them their policy on deferring enrollment after acceptance, or will that just make them think I don't want to go there, and then blow my chance to get in?</p>

<p>If anyone knows Brown or Swarthmore's specific policies on deferral, that would be AWESOME.</p>

<p>Any thoughts would really help! Thanks!</p>
