Free college applications

<p>i am just here to do a spelling check on one of the schools -</p>

<p>"Case Wetern"</p>

<p>is Case Western Reserve University</p>

<p>(sorry, i am attending there, and i got annoyed when i kept seeing it misspelled).</p>

<p>Case has a free application if you do it online thru its site or the common app.</p>

<p>Illinois Wesleyan has a free application for any online (its site or common app) or paper application.</p>

<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>they'll send you the applications at the beginning of your senior year.</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>I just learned that Tulane waives the application fee, on-line and on paper, for all transfer applicants.</p>

<p>oohh....I'm only a sophmore..well junior in fall so, i really didn't know what you meant. my bad.
makes me feel stupid.</p>

<p>Don't feel stupid, I think it's great you are researching! :)</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>Don't know if this one has been mentioned but Lewis & Clark waives the fee if you apply online.</p>

<p>sammgc68, they do it for everyone, but it's still a good deal!</p>

<p>bump - good thread for this time of year.</p>

<p>wooster, ohio wesleyan and wheaton provided that you apply online.</p>

<p>bump................</p>

<p>Kettering also has a free online ap and no essay required
<a href="http://www.kettering.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.kettering.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/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>Drexel - free if submitted at an open house/free if application is submitted online</p>

<p>Philadelphia University - free if submitted during an open house</p>

<p>UHart - free if submitted BEFORE Nov. 15</p>

<p>Free application waivers (those bits you get in the mail incessantly) :</p>

<p>[these are the ones I am aware of]</p>

<p>Temple
Albright
Messiah
Virginia Commonwealth
Saint Leo's
Franklin Pierce</p>

<p>I know I missed something...</p>

<p>The applications may be free but the colleges still want to see your SAT/ACT scores. Is it worth paying for the scores to be sent ??</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>
