Absolutely. I will take a bet from anybody on this. There will be very few who can't slide through with one exemption or another. My post from another thread:
I expect any number of the following to continue bid-nes as usual:
1. College training exemptions, lead by ERAU, UND, et al.
2. Military trained exemptions
3. Airline sponsored training exemptions
4. Ab initio program exemptions
5. Multi-Pilot License exemptions
6. "Emergency" exemptions when airlines scream they have to cancel flights since they can't find any more kids who are qualified and want to work for $20k.
