FAFSA Glitches Cause Chaos in College Admissions
High school seniors in California are facing a chaotic and glitch-filled rollout of newly designed FAFSA forms, causing a steep drop in the number of financial aid forms submitted and leaving many students in financial aid limbo. The delays have prompted the University of California and California State University to extend their admission offer acceptance deadlines, and the California Student Aid Commission has also extended the priority deadline to submit financial aid applications. The glitches have caused anxiety and frustration for students and counselors, with some students unable to complete the form and worried about the impact on their college dreams.
