I've been seeing reports in the news that recent revisions to FAFSA have thrown a lot of applicants for a loop, to the point where it has been having an impact on the schools they're trying to apply to.  Has anybody observed any of this?
For our light affliction, which is only for a moment, works for us a far greater and eternal weight of glory.  We look not at the things we can see, but at those we can't.  For the things we can see are temporary, but those we can't see are eternal.

Definitely at my institution, which serves a large number of PELL-eligible students. Our Admissions and Financial Aid teams have created a substitute form for the meantime to help potential students learn how much aid they could qualify for. The big worry is that potential students will decide not to apply to college this cycle.

At my place applications are way up, but acceptances and aid offers have been affected.  We have a substitute form as well. Applicants are told approximately how much they would qualify for based on this form, pending FAFSA confirmation.
