<p>I received some application fee waivers in the mail from some organization called Expanding College Opportunities, so I'm going to use them. The instructions are pretty basic - just check the common app box for fee waiver and mail a piece of paper to the actual university.</p>
<p>Now, do the institutions I'm applying to need to receive the actual fee waiver by the application deadline, or can they get them a bit later (by bit, I mean a few days)? When I check the box on the common app for submitting a fee waiver, it says the payment has been submitted, so am I all good as long as the college gets the physical waiver within a reasonable amount of time?</p>
