<p>Could someone start naming schools, especially east coast schools, that are free to apply to? the only one i can think of is american. I'm 99% sure its free to apply.</p>
<p>Just name any and all. I'm trying to get a friend to apply to more schools... he doesn't want to because he doesn't want to have to pay for it.</p>
<p>search function--you'll find a list</p>
<p>do what now?</p>
<p>wellesley if you apply online.
and i think someplace called smith?
i'm not even sure what smith is, i just heard that it was free.</p>
<p>a lot can be free if you apply online. check the common app, it should tell you in the school information.</p>
<p>wellesley's nice. too bad im looking for a guy.
please include ALL schools, not just the really good ones, his stats arent really all that good.</p>
<p>Smith is a women's college, just like Wellesley and Mount Holyoke, which also happens to be free if you apply online.</p>
<p>I think, OP, that you sound like a well meaning person who's wasting your time.</p>
<p>Your friend's idea of applying to colleges only if he can apply for free is simply stupid. His tactic may help him avoid getting no acceptances, but he may end up with acceptances to colleges he doesn't want to attend. He's being penny wise, pound foolish.</p>
<p>well, he kinda started off stupid, just applying to a bunch of state schools that he knows nothing about. then his mom got mad when she figured this out, because he applied to 8 state schools he knows nothing about, and it's 55 dollars per app. and she said to stop wasting her money. she'll still pay if he finds another school and goes "oooh, i really want to go tehre" but she won't pay for the stupid way he was apply. i just decided that i'd try to help him find a few more options.</p>
<p>Honestly, it sounds like your friend is not ready for college. His not taking responsibility for finding colleges he'd really like is a big sign that he doesn't want to go. There's no shame in that. Many students would be far better off taking a productive gap year or two after h.s. by working a fulltime job or doing fulltime volunteer work for a cause they care about. Many students also may not be interested in colleges ever. </p>
<p>A more vocational type post h.s. education may be a good fit for them. That's true for even many very smart students. Depending on one's post h.s. education, one can make an excellent living even without a college degree.</p>
<p>free applications:</p>
<p>baylor university
case western reserve university
loyola university in new orleans</p>
<p>Yeah, CWRU.</p>
<p>Colgate and Carleton</p>
<p>But he still has to pay to send his scores and for the Profile if it is required...</p>
