This is really frustrating for us.

G17 mentioned in her Common App, submitted in the fall, that she would be taking a gap year (we are in Europe, and that is a common thing here). She will be completing a ski instructor course this summer, and will spend the winter working at a ski center and most likely working as an assistant coach for her former ski team.

If her chosen school pushes back in favor of kids who opted out recently, she's not going to be happy. I won't be surprised if she ends up reopening the application process and staying in Europe.
