Axios - The college admissions rat race is suddenly more frustrating and complex than ever. A new federal financial aid form is buggy and baffling. Colleges keep changing their minds about the value of standardized tests. And this is the first application season without affirmative action — adding a host of unknowns. Chances of making a bad choice are rising. The financial aid process is working so poorly that some students are enrolling without knowing whether they'll be able to afford to go, The Wall Street Journal reports. 29% of high school seniors had submitted forms as of March 1, compared with 45% at the same point in 2023, The Journal notes ....Many schools made standardized tests optional during the pandemic, but some elite institutions, including Yale and Dartmouth, are requiring them again. And the SAT itself is undergoing major changes.
