I received an email that said my application fee is waived for the Common App also. Do I choose “I am a Special Waiver Program Applicant” or is there some other way I indicate that on my application?
In the common app there is a drop down menu that allows you to select ‘I am a special fee waiver program applicant’. I received the same email, and that is what I did to submit the common app. I can’t remember in which section of the common app it was, however, because I applied a month ago. Hope this helps
My D also used the fee waiver but I don’t remember the wording.
I do remember my D did not originally check the question about whether applying to college would be a financial burden. When I double checked her Common App before submission I noticed she had not checked it and I thought we should since she got an SAT fee waiver. At that point, the drop down menu came up.
