My counselor is approving my free waiver using this option: Other request from high school principal, high school counselor, financial aid officer, or community leader.
However, after he selects that, it says to tick a box that says the student is in grade 11 or 12. Only then he can officially submit the fee waiver.
The problem is that I am a gap year student, and have graduated from high school, but I need a fee waiver.
Should my counselor still tick that box and approve the waiver? Will colleges have a problem with this? What will they do? Like will they reject me straight away, or carry out an investigation by contacting my school?
P.S. I have mentioned in my application that I am a gap year student.
