Yesterday, the CBS evening news featured a story on the college decisions of future freshmen beginning this fall, 2020. According to surveys of guidance counselors and college admissions from coast to coast, around 1/6 of entering freshmen have indicated they will most likely take next year as a GAP YEAR.
The reasons were all things we’ve discussed here: no desire for online classes, fear of getting to school only to have it closed again, lack of finances, fear that this year will NOT present the “real” college experience, and others.
My question: can a student be admitted to—say U of ALABAMA—and indicate they will not actually enroll for a year? That may skew the count of those admitted and those actually attending.
