What would the difference be for an applicant who took a year in the middle? Would you still consider them in the degree bunch? Also, if schools are all online next year, do you expect the quality of college applicants to go down?

I wouldn’t care at all if they took a year off. Not one bit. I don’t particularly care about gaps in employment either. I only use college degree as a filter, because if I don’t I end up with a landslide of unqualified applicants to sort through. I haven’t found that with gap periods so far.

I don’t actually expect quality to go down from online offerings. I’ll be keeping an eye on it though, for sure.
