<p>I'm a New York City resident and I just submitted the supplement, but when i tried submitting the common app, they said I had to pay first. </p>
<p>What is up with this? Don't New York residents get their fee waived? Do i have to go to their website to get something filled out?</p>
<p>i hope you understand that NYU is a private school, therefore, it has no connections with the state...you have to pay the fee no matter where you live unless you have a waiver...</p>
<p>FYI, NYU has the worst financial aid package..
In their dictionary, there's no such word like "fee waiver."</p>
<p>lol @ other responses. yes if you are a NYC resident, you get your app fee waived. choose "other" under fee waivers. That's what I did. I was unsure but after asking my counselor, its the only option that makes sense. I hope this isn't too late!</p>
<p>If you use the NYU application, and you wrote your zip code earlier in the app, the only option they give you is the fee waiver if you attend a school in New York City (or any of its 5 boroughs). So I didn't have to pay, but my friend who used the Common App and goes to the same school as me payed because it didn't give her this option.</p>
