<p>Pretty sure you can ask your counselor and the school if they offer one.</p>
<p>Fee waivers are intended for applicants who CANNOT afford to pay the fee, not students for whom it would be an inconvenient burden. Your cavalier attitude, “wanna see if i can save myself $400”, makes it sound like you are trying to take advantage of adcom’s generosity.</p>
<p>If your family truly cannot pay, there are a number of automatic approvals that can be noted in the Common App. For example, if you received a fee waiver for the SAT, most colleges will grant you an app fee waiver as well.</p>
