<p>most schools such as wesleyan, duke and the likes will send you free applications if you add yourself to their mailing list in the 10th grade or even later.</p>
<p>Ultima, any college will /give/ you applications for free. However, when you actually /turn in/ your application, you usually need to pay about $50 for it to be processed. That's what we're talking about here. :)</p>
<p>Er, Utima, we're not looking at how you can get the paper application in the mail for free -- we are looking for colleges that allow you to FILE the application for free.... as opposed to paying the $70 that Duke charges if you actually decide you want to go there.</p>
<p>University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN has a free application for ungergrads.</p>
<p>Catholic school, 5,000 undergrad students, beautiful campus in good part of St. Paul very near Mississippi River. They also have 4-5k grad students and are especially known for their MBA program (downtown Minneapolis campus).</p>
<p>UPitt sent me a letter (along with an application) telling me that they'd waive my fee if I applied by October. I'm not sure if that's because they like me or because they want early applicants, but there's that. The application also seems rather abbreviated, as the personal essay and teacher reccs are optional, and there's nowhere to write ECs (except in an optional personal essay). Unless I'm completely misunderstanding the application, of course, which is entirely possible.</p>
<p>Yep, Ohio Wesleyan U. does have a free application for online applicants. Applications are apparently up by 70% for domestic applicants so far though it is very early to tell. They are using the same strategy as its peer, Denison to boost number of its applicants two years ago.</p>
<p>Is Tulane still free? On its website it says to pay $55.</p>
<p>I guess its only free for preferred applicants and transfers. Does anyone know how to become preferred? Can I just ask them for information? Northwestern sent me a fee waiver because I guess I expressed interest sometime.</p>
