Not so much an admissions question but a retention and yield question too which could impact admissions in the future.

This is really the first semester of mostly online education. Word will get out very quickly how well or how poorly the online experience went for students. I think that will play a role in what admits will do next year. Options are punt and wait for vaccine, GAP year, just go to local or in-state school, attend in-person, or stay online. What parents are willing to pay for the experience or lack of will matter as well.
