parentologist:

When it comes to the highly competitive schools, the 35% looking into a gap year figure seems about right.

It seems right because it’s no different than any other year. 20-30% of seniors end up taking a gap year. Sure, this is different for more competitive schools, but as has been previously stated, they aren’t allowing for COVID-related deferrals.

parentologist:

If they’re approved for it,

They won’t be. As many other posters have stated, colleges aren’t allowing for COVID-related deferments, and will more than likely come out with fall semester decisions after the deferral request deadline.

You’re putting way too much weight on “facts” that either aren’t true or that are exaggerated.
