Application Fee Waiver

Applying to College
1

<p>I qualify for the collegeboard college application fee waivers, but before I use them, I need to know the answers to these questions:</p>

<p>Will using an application fee waiver affect my chances of getting into certain schools? Also, will the admissions committee/officers know that I used a waiver for my application? What about schools that are need blind?</p>

<p>I don't want to pay the app fees (9 colleges, but Collegeboard will only waive 4 or 5), but if using the waivers will affect my chances, then I'd rather pay because it will be worth it in the long run. Btw, I do qualify for the waivers.</p>

<p>u can only use up to 4. </p>

<p>as for affecting college chances... i don't know. i have heard two sides. </p>

<p>from some college books, i have heard that if the addmissions office sees a person that can pay on their own or thinks that person can, then they get a favorable view. NYU does that </p>

<p>some colleges don't even see that u used a fee waiver.... though i have seen applications that has that info right at the bottemn of the page....</p>

<p>What about the NACAC application fee waiver request?</p>

<p>Not all colleges grant this, but it's worth a try.</p>

4

<p>Do state universities allow fee waivers for internationals?</p>

5

<p>What about colleges that are need blind? Will it hurt my chances if I use a fee waiver then?</p>
