Fee Waiver

F&M recently sent me a thing in the mail saying if I get my application in by 10/15 I don’t have to pay for the application fee. I’m doing it but when I told my GC about it he said he’d never heard of that type of thing before. Anyone get something similar?

I’ll just add my two cents to say that I get tons of offers like that from other colleges, so it’s not impossible, but usually its from low-tier schools. By any chance did the letter state that the application gave you “priority status?” If it does then I wouod said its likely legit. A lot of colleges send out letters like that, and from a school like F&M they must be really interested in you. Don’t take my word for it though, I’m just a senior like you.

You are correct, op. I also got a letter, and my interviewer told me that, too. Hope I helped!

My son has received these in the mail and via email. They are legit and welcomed at our house. Some have been for top 20 schools in my sons’s case, so these are not just for low tier schools.

Thanks. Anybody know about decisions then? Since the submission deadline for it is so early would they get back to me earlier even though it’s technically RD?

@kskskskskldpe I don’t believe they notify you earlier if you’re applying RD. I was at an info session there where someone asked if applying earlier resulted in hearing from them earlier, and the answer was “usually not.”

Ok thanks. Kinda expected that but was just curious
