Gap Year的新生，会减少下一届美本的录取名额吗？
哈佛大学理解关于2021年录取名额的顾虑，但是目前招生办还不是很了解具体情况所以无法给出准确的回答
西北大学每年收到40000份申请，但只录取2000人左右，所以申请西北大学一直是一个具有挑战性的过程。尽管今年的申请流程会有所不同，但西北大学致力于在阅读每一份申请时使用最全面的视角来塑造最好的年级整体。你的担忧我们深表理解，并且这种担忧已经广泛出现。虽然目前西北大学收到申请Gap Year的人数的确比往年多，但是仍是少数学生，所以不会影响2021年的录取名额 。
康奈尔大学
疫情影响有很多不确定因素，不过目前来看gap year并不会对明年招生有任何影响
杜克大学
很遗憾，到目前为止我们还不是非常的确定Gap Year的大一新生会给明年招生名额来怎样的影响。杜克大学现在没有预期减少2021年毕业的新生录取规模，但是很多因素导致未来仍可能有很多的变化
Unfortunately, at this time we do not know for sure. We are not currently expecting any changes in the size of the next incoming class, but there are many factors to consider that may change over the next few months.
斯坦福大学
我们的大学领导层致力于像往常一样在明年满员招收2021年毕业的高中生，尽管今年我们批准的gap year申请数量比往年要多很多，但我们仍将确保我们能够做到这一点
Our University leadership is committed to enrolling a full class next year as we normally would and will ensure that we can do this despite the larger than usual number of gap year requests we have granted this year.
普林斯顿大学
我们期望在明年招收和往年一样规模的当年毕业的高中生
We expect to admit a similar amount of students to the Class of 2025 as we have for the past few years.
哥伦比亚大学
目前没有明显迹象表明疫情的蔓延我们会导致我们缩减2021年毕业高中生的规模
We do not currently anticipate the ongoing global pandemic impacting the class size for the Class of 2025.
耶鲁大学
我们非常理解大学生申请者所面对的这一不寻常的时刻。耶鲁大学将非常幸运的像往年一样完整的招收2021年毕业的高中生，不受疫情影响。
We understand the uncertain times facing college applicants. To answer your question, Yale is in a fortunate position to admit and enroll the normal number of students for fall 2021 regardless of the incoming students' choices this year due to Covid-19.
芝加哥大学
不要担心！我们并没有经历休学学生数量的明显增长，所以这不会影响到申请2021年秋季入学的申请者
Do not worry! We have not seen a higher than normal number of students request a gap year, and we do not expect this to affect students applying for Fall 2021.
宾夕法尼亚大学
尽管我们无法预测未来几年的录取率，但我们预计的录取政策不会受gap year影响。
While we would not be able to forecast future years' admissions rates, we do not anticipate any gap year related changes to our admissions policies or practices.
布朗大学
我们了解您担心的原因。目前，衡量gap year对明年的2025届学生的影响还为时过早，但我们明年仍致力于录取和招收来自世界各地的才华横溢且多样化学生
We understand the reason for your concern. At this time, it is too early to gauge the impact of gap years on next year's Class of 2025 but we remain committed to admitting and enrolling a talented and diverse class of students from around the world.
达特茅斯学院
我理解你关于今年推迟入学的大一新生对于2025届招生的影响，尤其是在这样一个充满竞争力的过程当中。今年选择gap year的大一新生可能会成为影响明年招生的因素之一，但也只是诸多因素之一。达特茅斯学院每年的录取率都很低，所以我们暂时也无法给出准确预测。
I understand your concern about the number of students postponing into the Class of 2025 and their potential impact on the competitiveness of the selection process in this next admissions cycle. There are many variables that influence the rate of admission in any given year. The number of people who postpone into the class from the prior year is one variable, but only one. In short, while we anticipate a highly selective process every year, it is impossible for us to forecast how selective a specific admissions cycle will be in advance.
范德堡大学
我们的学生，无论他们的决策计划如何，都可以选择远程上课。学生可以申请一年的延期，但必须在6月中旬之前申请。尽管我们的许多国际学生都选择了该选项，但我们的大多数学生（即美国国内学生）都计划返回校园
我和我的同事们仍在弄清楚这将如何影响2021年秋季的招生周期，但是我相信范德堡明年仍将招收大约1600名2021年毕业的高中生。
Our students, regardless of their decision plan, were given the option to take classes remotely. Student could apply for a one-year deferral, but they had to do so by mid-June. While many of our international students have chosen this option, most of our students, namely domestic, are planning on returning to campus.
My colleagues and I are still figuring out how this will affect the fall 2021 admissions cycle, but--I believe--the plan is to still admit approximately 1,600 first-year students.
圣母大学
我们今年确实有比往年更多的学生选择gap year, 但他们仍属于少数。我们不认为2024届会未来的招生产生很大的影响。我们期望在明年招收和过去几年相当的应届高中生。
We do have more students opting to take a gap year this year, than in previous years, but it is still a small number. We are not expecting the class of 2024 to have a noticeable impact on future classes. We expect to admit a comparable number of students to past years.
莱斯大学
莱斯大学这个秋季将提供提供线上线下的混合课型，并且很大一部分学生选择回到校园上课。所以今年选择gap year的学生并没有往年多，也不会影响莱斯明年的招生。
Rice will be offering courses in both and online and in-person format for our students this fall and the vast majority of our enrolled students have chosen to opt into in-person coursework. A small number of students have chosen to take a gap year as is standard with any year and at this time we do not anticipate that this will greatly impact admission for students in 2021.
约翰霍普金斯大学
尽管我们有一些学生选择gap year，但这并不会减小我们明年的应届高中生录取总人数。
While we did have some students decide to defer for one year, there are not so many that it will affect the number of students admitted in 2021.
密歇根安娜堡大学
我们的大一年级有超过6500名学生，gap year的学生不会对明年的大一招生产生很大的任何影响。
Our first-year course (6,500+) is large enough, so we don’t expect to have a significant impact on next year’s course.
卡内基梅隆大学
即使有疫情的影响，我们选择gap year的大一新生的比例也是非常低的，所以不会对明年招生产生影响。
The % of deferrals for the year, even with COVID in mind, are low. So this should not affect the number of acceptances.
华盛顿圣路易斯大学
每年我们都会收到一些延迟入学的申请，所以我们预测今年和往年也不会有很大的区别。同时我们建议对华盛顿圣路易斯大学感兴趣的学生，要将更多的经历集中在准备申请和提高自己上。
Every year some students defer their enrollment from one entry year to the next. I anticipate this year will be no different. From a prospective student's perspective, I would encourage you to focus on your own admissions journey and application process and note that we remain eager to welcome students (including international students) to our campus each year.
维克森林大学
我们确实有部分学生选择休学，但这并不会对我们明年的招生产生较大的影响。
We have had some students request a gap year, but it hasn't been a significant enough of a number that we should see a great impact on next year's class.
加州理工学院
我们的2021年招生较往年不会有任何变化。
Caltech is not expecting any major changes in the number of students that we will admit in 2021.
通过以上招生官们的回复大家可以看出，美国各高校对于2021年的招生整体情况，持非常乐观的态度，并不会因为gap year的学生增多等情况，减少招收高中毕业生。所以今年申请季的同学大可不必担心，还是要把更多精力放在申请本身！
