NEW YORK, NY (AP/WINA) – For many students, the excitement of being accepted into their first-choice college is being tempered this year by a troublesome uncertainty over whether they’ll get the financial aid they need to attend. The financial aid decisions that usually go out with acceptance letters are being delayed because of a later-than-expected rollout of a revised federal financial aid application, the form that schools use to compute financial aid. Schools won’t get the information they need to award financial aid until next month, forcing them to adapt.

The University of Virginia is among schools moving away from the popular May 1 deadline for students to accept their offers of admission. UVa has extended the offers until May 15.
