<p>The general recommendation is to apply to six schools. With four free schools, that would be $34. If you pick the test on which you do better instead of submitting both, it would cost even less. My two kids applied to 12schools between the two of them. My daughter only sent her ACT score since it was better; she got into three selective programs. </p>
<p>The suspicion comes because you asked for names of schools initially; you didn't say, "I have this list of schools but sending the score reports to all of them will be costly; do I have any recourse." </p>
<p>If you know which schools you want to apply to (which should have nothing to do with how scores have to be reported), then you shouldn't be asking this question here. We can't speak for the colleges. If some allow self-reported scores on a case-by-case basis, then you need to make the case to them. Perhaps, were you to have other verified testing in your home country, they would be more lenient.</p>
<p>I don't see any provision for a waiver or reduction of the score report fees for the SAT or ACT. But you can always email them and ask; the worst that can happen is that they say no.</p>
