<p>Quick- on the common app, I selected to pay a school with a fee waiver. If I send it today, I don't think they'll get it in time before Jan 1! </p>
<p>Or does the payment not have to follow the application deadline?</p>
<p>Well, my first thought was call the school and ask. You unfortunately have waited until last minute, and this is one of the problems of doing so. Check the school’s website and see if there is anything about how to use a waiver. Otherwise, the admissions office may be open until noon or so on Monday, so call early to find out how to handle this. also, read the common app carefully. Are there any instructions at the end about using a waiver?</p>
<p>IF you are eligible for a college board or NACAC fee waiver, just see your counselor on Wednesday, get the fee waiver and mail it out</p>
