The acceptance rate at University of Utah is 87.2%. In other words, of 100 students who apply, 87 are admitted. This means the school is not selective. As long as you don't fall way below average, you'll likely get in.
That's relatively easy. Contact the admissions office, and ask them to defer your admission. Most colleges will allow you to defer for at least a year with no penalty, and you don't have to reapply.
Family emergency or personal reasons: If there's an unexpected event or personal circumstance that requires your attention, deferring admission can allow you to prioritize and address the situation without the added stress of academics.
After you've submitted an application, it can take several weeks to process an admissions decision. Application processing times vary based on the type of application (i.e., freshman, transfer, etc.) and the time of year.
If you're a newly admitted undergrad wishing to postpone your start date to a later semester, you can apply for an admission deferment. Graduate students who are interested in deferring their start at the university must discuss this with their academic program and obtain their approval.
A Leave of Absence request must be submitted by the student before the applicable deadline date to be granted an approved absence from the university. The deadline to submit a Leave of Absence request is the last day to add or drop second-half courses of the semester the student will not or has not enrolled in.
While these processes vary depending on the school, colleges typically require students to fill out a “Request to Defer” form, which is often located within your school's admitted students' portal. You'll also need to write a formal deferral letter detailing goals and plans for your gap year.
