Do schools know if you did the fee waiver?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

<p>Do the admissions councils know if you do the fee waiver to their school when you apply/when they are looking at your app? Just curious...</p>

<p>Yes. Fee waivers are through each school, not through the common application program. You will need to send or apply for a fee waiver for each school.</p>

<p>And next year, you will be able to request one of the application fee waivers online through the Common App system. You will simply need to affirm that you meet the eligibility requirements. You can learn more when the system goes live on August 1.</p>

<p>So would a school be less likely to admit me if I do a fee waiver?</p>

<p>Requesting a fee waiver won’t hurt your chances, but the amount of financial aid you would need to attend (if a $50 application fee poses such a huge burden for your family) most definitely will. </p>
