Is this the New Norm?

The gap year kids were the high school class of 2020 and they took a gap year for the 2020-21 school year when many schools went online. Those kids are now freshmen for the 2021-22 school year as all schools are in person this year. In addition, students who want to defer for a year, apply to college with their cohorts and then ask a specific school for a gap year. There would be only a tiny number of kids that graduated in 2021 who didn’t apply to colleges who would be applying with the class of 2022.
Every kid in America has been stuck at home for two years. I doubt there are more than 8 who wanted to spend another year at home. Kids couldn’t wait to get to college for the 2021-22 school year.
