Lol, this is probably because FAFSA was complicated this year. You'll find that applications to good schools are more affected by "can we afford this" than any perceived estimate of value (which is always high enough).
- janalsncm 2y agoWould the FAFSA also affect Yale?
- gnicholas 2y agoDid people know how bad of a fiasco FAFSA would be when they were thinking about applying? Also, why would Harvard applications drop when other Ivies saw increases by as much as 10%?
- singhrac 2y agoFrom what I understand FAFSA was delayed by 2 months this year (to December). But you’re right - if other colleges didn’t see a decline then it’s probably not an important factor. I guess it feels too tenuous a connection because I never thought about university politics when applying but maybe the marginal student is thinking about different things. I decided not to apply to some schools because the essay requirements were too long, or I didn’t they’d give me enough financial aid.
