- sokoloff 5y agoI think a lot of people took a gap year last year (who otherwise wouldn’t have). Why pay for college if you won’t get to actually go? Many of those people are showing up now as applicants.

- ghaff 5y agoThat's perhaps the logical answer if the certificate is the outcome you care about. But I know a lot of students who decided that it made more sense just to take the year off and go back to school when things were hopefully more normal again.
- sokoloff 5y agoI could have been clearer. I agree with you [in that I wouldn't have personally delayed], but I think a substantial fraction of the college-bound crowd made that tradeoff calculation.
