> Colleges are not going to let many people take gap years.

How are they going to get out of abiding by their own regulations? Universities I'm familiar with all provide for deferred years.

What regulation? Colleges have always required that you request deferral. This was almost always granted, but was never guaranteed.

Oh I checked my uni's calendar and you're right, there's a brief notice that deferral isn't guaranteed. In practice I've never seen it denied, but these times are different.
